$4,000 - Round 4 Launch

$4,000 - Round 4 Launch

TL;DR - Round 4 is live with a ~$4,000 matching pool and some nice UI updates. And ETHDenver is using clr.fund to distribute its 15,000 Dai Open Track prizepool.

Round 3 Review

TL;DR - With a ~2,000 wxDai matching pool, Round 3 had 31 unique contributors and 22 public goods projects. The matching pool for Round 4 will double again, to ~4,000 wxDai, and ETHDenver will allocate the $15,000 prizepool using an instance of clr.fund.

Round 3: Doubleup to Rollup

Round 3: Doubleup to Rollup

TL;DR - Round 3 is live and doubled since last round (~2,000 Dai). We’re planning to double the matching pool each round until we deploy to a rollup.

Round 2 Review

TL;DR - another successful round in the books; 16 people allocated 1,007 wxDai to 16 Ethereum Public Goods projects. This round represents a milestone. So to celebrate, we’re going to start increasing the size of the matching pools! 🎉️
