Gitcoin Labs，以太坊公共物品资金协议Gitcoin的主要软件开发单位Gitcoin关闭

Gitcoin联合创始人Kevin Owocki在一份声明中说，这一决定部分是因为“盈利能力”是不现实的。

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

该项目于周五宣布，以太坊公共物品资助协议Gitcoin正在关闭其主要软件开发部门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联合创始人Kevin Owocki在一封电子邮件中说，这一决定部分是因为“盈利能力”是不现实的。

“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说：“赠款实验室的财务开销已经超过了当前环境的金融跑道，因此我们做出了艰难的决定，即助学金实验室将于今年晚些时候结束。” “这一决定是与Gitcoin和Grants Lab的主要负责人协商的，并根据Gitcoin组织结构的法律和技术要求以及Gitcoin法律实体的财务报告义务。”

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

Owocki指出，剩下的资金将用于向所有工作受到影响的所有工作。” 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是一个平台，促使社区能够为Web3生态系统中的开源项目和公共物品提供资金和支持，主要是通过其赠款计划，该计划使用以太坊联合创始人Vitaler Vitalik Buterin共同创建的机制分配了超过6000万美元，称为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.

该平台是更广泛的“再生”（重生金融）运动的一部分，该运动旨在忠于Crypto创立的Cypherpunk Ethos，它支持了诸如乐观，Polygon，Sei和Celo等著名项目。

“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.

“我们不是在撤退 - 我们正在重新集中。Gitcoin将继续下去，但是一个更精益的团队围绕着更为专注的Gitcoin赠款计划并管理其资产组合。而Gitcoin仍然是一个充满活力的，有力的社区，与多年的跑道相比，这比任何一个团队或产品都多，” Owocki补充说。

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.

此举是在对社区领导的项目进行战略性大修后大约一年的，该项目采用了一种更简化和资本主义的方法。 2024年2月，Gitcoin凝结了几个组成的Daos，日落了其2层的公共物品网络，并投资了诸如营利性项目和收益策略之类的赚钱机会。

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.

作为最新转变的一部分，Gitcoin将关闭赠款堆栈，这是一种管理赠款计划的工具，并将Allo Protocol（其民主资本分配的区块链系统）缩减。但是，该项目确实打算继续维护人类护照数字验证系统。

"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写道：“对于我们的合作伙伴和用户：您所依赖的技术并非一夜之间消失。我们正在努力确保过渡顺利，包括评估技术交接和持续支持。”

"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上对我们来说是一个很大的转变 - 虽然这是艰难的一天，但我对未来的情况和建立在我们奠定的基础以及我们建立的势头上的机会感到非常有希望，” Gitcoin赠款计划负责Mathilda DV在X上说。值得注意的是，该项目还宣布，直到“ 2029年”，赠款计划才资助。
