Gitcoin日落的赠款实验室业务部门专注于核心赠款计划

Gitcoin说，到2025年5月，它将退休其赠款实验室业务部门和赠款堆栈技术。这种艰难的选择是在经过数月的内部检查之后

Gitcoin, a leading platform for decentralized public goods funding, has announced the difficult decision to retire its Grants Lab business unit and Grants Stack technology by May 2024.

GitCoin是分散公共物品资金的领先平台，宣布了艰难的决定，决定在2024年5月之前退休其赠款实验室业务部门和Grants Stack Technology。

After months of internal deliberation and in response to the changing market landscape, Gitcoin’s leadership has made this tough choice to preserve the organization’s viability in the long term. The focus will now be on continuing and innovating upon Gitcoin’s established core: the Gitcoin Grants Program.

经过几个月的内部审议并回应不断变化的市场格局，Gitcoin的领导才能从长远来看，为维护组织的生存能力做出了艰难的选择。现在的重点将是继续对Gitcoin既定的核心：GitCoin赠款计划进行创新。

“We’re sad to announce that we'll be shutting down Grants Lab and winding down Grants Stack by May 2024,” the statement begins.

声明开始说：“我们很遗憾地宣布，我们将在2024年5月之前关闭赠款实验室，并结束赠款堆栈。”

This signals a turning point for Gitcoin, having previously stated in early 2024 that its main goal would be to concentrate largely on grants. However, with the persistent market downturn and an unworkable financial model, the leaders had to make difficult decisions.

这标志着Gitcoin的转折点，此前曾在2024年初表示，其主要目标是集中精力。但是，随着持续的市场低迷和不可行的财务模式，领导人必须做出艰难的决定。

While running expenses exceed $3 million annually with around $1 million in revenue, a major part of this financial burn has been Grants Lab. In today’s challenging crypto environment, with persistent bearish conditions and a small donor base, scaling revenue to cover such expenses has proven infeasible. Funding a unit that wasn't economically self-sustaining would compromise Gitcoin’s overall financial viability.

虽然运营费用每年超过300万美元，收入约为100万美元，但这项金融燃烧的主要部分是赠款实验室。在当今具有挑战性的加密环境中，持续的看跌条件和少量的捐助者基础，将收入扩大以支付此类费用是不可行的。资助一个没有经济自我维持的部门将损害Gitcoin的整体财务可行性。

Gitcoin is working closely with partners to oversee active donations, transfer some initiatives to capable allies, and ensure contributors are supported throughout the wind-down phase.

Gitcoin正在与合作伙伴紧密合作，以监督主动捐款，将一些计划转移给有能力的盟友，并确保在整个降雨阶段得到支持。

Despite the closure, Grants Lab’s contributions to the Web3 ecosystem have been significant. Over the past year, Grants Lab:

尽管关闭了，但Grants Lab对Web3生态系统的贡献仍然很大。在过去的一年中，Grants Lab：

Moreover, Grants Lab played a crucial role in developing Gitcoin Passport (now part of human.tech) and Allo Capital, two spin-offs that have successfully become independent entities. These achievements, despite the sunsetting of the business unit, highlight Gitcoin’s impact in shaping the future of public goods funding.

此外，Grants Lab在开发Gitcoin Passport（现为Human.Tech的一部分）和Allo Capital方面发挥了至关重要的作用，这是两个成功成为独立实体的衍生产品。尽管业务部门日落降临，但这些成就突出了Gitcoin在塑造公共物品资金未来的影响。

Specifically highlighting the lab's key contributions, the post mentions:

特别强调了实验室的主要贡献，该帖子提到：

The team's mission to “empower anyone in the EVM ecosystem to create, manage, and grow successful grants programs” has left a lasting impact. While the financial model proved unsustainable, the network effects generated by Grants Lab will continue to benefit Gitcoin's ecosystem and its partners.

该团队的使命“授权EVM生态系统中的任何人都能创建，管理和发展成功的赠款计划”，给予了持久的影响。尽管事实证明财务模型是不可持续的，但Grants Lab产生的网络效应将继续使Gitcoin的生态系统及其合作伙伴受益。

Gitcoin has also outlined specific measures to manage the transition responsibly:

Gitcoin还概述了特定措施以负责任地管理过渡：

For the broader Gitcoin community, the message is clear: Gitcoin Grants are not shutting down. In fact, this move doubles down on the Grants Program's importance. Upcoming initiatives like GG24 will continue, enabling the community to support and fund impactful projects.

对于更广泛的Gitcoin社区，信息很明确：Gitcoin赠款没有关闭。实际上，此举使赠款计划的重要性翻了一番。像GG24这样的即将到来的举措将继续，使社区能够支持和资助有影响力的项目。
