ENS x Gitcoin

This was ENS’s fifth time supporting builders via Gitcoin, and the largest amount of matching to date! Over the years of using Gitcoin, we’ve seen it grow off of mainnet and on to L2s and into a set of permissionless contracts instead of a centralized solution.

$125,000 Matching Pool
