🌍 This Week in Web3ForGood
GG18, Worldcoin, Givepact, and VCM Landscape review...
gm gm,
The summer ain’t cooling down and neither are the Web3 updates!
Applications for Gitcoin Grant round 18 are live, the Givepact platform is live and accepting donations, more news about the Worldcoin (excitement and concerns), and a super interesting and insightful guide on the voluntary carbon market landscape by our friends at Climate Collective, along with RMI Emissions!
We also wanted to inform our readers that for the first time since we started Web3ForGood, we will be taking our first break. Web3ForGood is going on a summer pause for the next 2 weeks but expect the usual and more when we come back!
WAGMI.
