Gitcoin Labs，以太坊公共物品資金協議Gitcoin的主要軟件開發單位Gitcoin關閉

Gitcoin聯合創始人Kevin Owocki在一份聲明中說，這一決定部分是因為“盈利能力”是不現實的。

Gitcoin, the Ethereum public goods funding protocol, is shutting down its primary software development unit, Gitcoin Labs, the project announced on Friday.

該項目於週五宣布，以太坊公共物品資助協議Gitcoin正在關閉其主要軟件開發部門Gitcoin Labs。

The decision was made in part because a “path to profitability” was unrealistic, Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki said in an email.

Gitcoin聯合創始人Kevin Owocki在一封電子郵件中說，這一決定部分是因為“盈利能力”是不現實的。

“The financial overhead of Grants Lab has outpaced its financial runway in the current environment, and so we’ve made the difficult decision that Grants Lab will be winding down later this year,” Owocki said. “This decision was made in consultation with the top stewards of Gitcoin and lead of Grants Lab, and is being shared in accordance with the legal and technical requirements of Gitcoin’s Organizational Structure, and the financial reporting obligations of Gitcoin’s legal entities.”

Owocki說：“贈款實驗室的財務開銷已經超過了當前環境的金融跑道，因此我們做出了艱難的決定，即助學金實驗室將於今年晚些時候結束。” “這一決定是與Gitcoin和Grants Lab的主要負責人協商的，並根據Gitcoin組織結構的法律和技術要求以及Gitcoin法律實體的財務報告義務。”

The remaining funds will go towards paying severance “to all whose employment is affected,” Owocki noted.

Owocki指出，剩下的資金將用於向所有工作受到影響的所有工作。 ” Owocki指出。

Gitcoin is a platform that empowers communities to fund and support open-source projects and public goods in the web3 ecosystem, primarily through its Grants Program, which has distributed over $60 million using a mechanism co-created by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin called Quadratic Funding.

GitCoin是一個平台，促使社區能夠為Web3生態系統中的開源項目和公共物品提供資金和支持，主要是通過其贈款計劃，該計劃使用以太坊聯合創始人Vitaler Vitalik Buterin共同創建的機制分配了超過6000萬美元，稱為Quadratic Funding。

The platform, which is part of the wider “regen” (short for regenerative finance) movement that is focused on staying true to crypto’s founding cypherpunk ethos, has backed notable projects such as Optimism, Polygon, Sei and Celo.

該平台是更廣泛的“再生”（重生金融）運動的一部分，該運動旨在忠於Crypto創立的Cypherpunk Ethos，它支持了諸如樂觀，Polygon，Sei和Celo等著名項目。

“We're not retreating — we're refocusing. Gitcoin will continue, but with a leaner team aligned around a more focused Gitcoin Grants program and managing its portfolio of assets. And Gitcoin remains a vibrant, resilient community with many years of runway, and which is more than any one team or product,” Owocki added.

“我們不是在撤退 - 我們正在重新集中。Gitcoin將繼續下去，但是一個更精益的團隊圍繞著更為專注的Gitcoin贈款計劃並管理其資產組合。而Gitcoin仍然是一個充滿活力的，有力的社區，與多年的跑道相比，這比任何一個團隊或產品都多，” Owocki補充說。

The move comes about a year after a strategic overhaul of the community-led project, which saw it take a more streamlined and capitalistic approach. In February 2024, Gitcoin condensed several constituent DAOs, sunsetted its Layer 2 Public Goods Network, and invested in money-making opportunities like for-profit projects and yield strategies.

此舉是在對社區領導的項目進行戰略性大修後大約一年的，該項目採用了一種更簡化和資本主義的方法。 2024年2月，Gitcoin凝結了幾個組成的Daos，日落了其2層的公共物品網絡，並投資了諸如營利性項目和收益策略之類的賺錢機會。

As part of the latest shift, Gitcoin will be shutting down Grants Stack, a tool for managing grants programs, as well as wind down the Allo Protocol, its blockchain system for democratic capital allocation. The project, however, does intend to continue maintaining the Human Passport digital verification system.

作為最新轉變的一部分，Gitcoin將關閉贈款堆棧，這是一種管理贈款計劃的工具，並將Allo Protocol（其民主資本分配的區塊鏈系統）縮減。但是，該項目確實打算繼續維護人類護照數字驗證系統。

"To our partners and users: the tech you rely on isn’t disappearing overnight. We’re working to ensure a smooth transition, including evaluating tech handoffs and continuing support where we can," Gitcoin wrote.

Gitcoin寫道：“對於我們的合作夥伴和用戶：您所依賴的技術並非一夜之間消失。我們正在努力確保過渡順利，包括評估技術交接和持續支持。”

"Today marks a big shift for us at Gitcoin — and while it’s a tough day, I’m feeling incredibly hopeful about what’s ahead and the opportunities to build on the foundations we've laid and the momentum we've built," Gitcoin Grants Program lead Mathilda DV said on X. "The Grants Stack era is coming to a close, but the Gitcoin Grants Program isn’t going anywhere. In fact, we’re doubling down on it." Notably, the project has also announced that the Grants Program is funded until "2029ish".

“今天在Gitcoin上對我們來說是一個很大的轉變 - 雖然這是艱難的一天，但我對未來的情況和建立在我們奠定的基礎以及我們建立的勢頭上的機會感到非常有希望，” Gitcoin贈款計劃負責Mathilda DV在X上說。值得注意的是，該項目還宣布，直到“ 2029年”，贈款計劃才資助。
