Gitcoin announces next round, L2s...
gm gm,
Anyone else feeling FOMO from EthCC? We are! But we are looking forward to all that comes out of it 🚀
In terms of some exciting news, Gitcoin announced their next grants round - Aug 15 -29, and we are ready for it! Last time was our first time participating, and it was definitely a learning experience - looking forward to this round particularly with the introduction of the Public Goods Network, a community led Layer 2 ecosystem for public good maxis.
We have been getting some interest in Layer 2s from our readers, and with Celo’s latest proposal, it has only deepened. So for all those hoping to learn more L2s, we might just have something in the works for you 👀
WAGMI.
