- **INTRODUCING DIRECT GRANTS: A New Way to Empower Web3 Projects 💸**
gm grant program maxis
Grants have been at the forefront of driving innovation in the web3 ecosystem, providing vital early support to projects that propel progress while preserving their independence.
We're excited to share a significant update as Gitcoin transitions to a protocolDAO. We're introducing a new funding mechanism on #GrantsStack: Direct Grants.
**What are Direct Grants? 🤔**
Direct Grants award a predetermined amount of money for the completion of a well-defined project, making it easy for communities to identify needs and provide support to builders.
**Some other benefits of Direct Grants:**
🚀 Help kickstart the development of a project or reach a targeted milestone
📈 Can return high short-term value to fill gaps or needs in an ecosystem
🔄 Can accept rolling applications and don’t need a closing period
🌱 Are suitable for early stage communities and ecosystems
Read the Full Announcement here: https://gitcoin.co/blog/intro-to-direct-grants-how-do-they-work

Innovate, diversify, and streamline your web3 funding approach with ease using Direct Grants on @GrantsStack.

- "Crypto" means different things to different people.
The public figures who stake their identity on being against it have a completely different view of it than the people building in crypto during this bear market.
Detractors see crypto as a threat to everyday citizens and consumers.
But what if crypto is or at least has the potential to be exactly the opposite of what these detractors believe? 🤔
For us, being "pro-crypto" means being pro...

- 🌱 More experiments in public goods funding are necessary to find the best approaches.
🤝 That's why we’re so excited to support RetroPGF 2 and Optimism's vision of a sustainable startup funding cycle for public goods!
We’re sharing a first look into the structure of our new grants protocol on the OP Labs dev blog. Keep in mind that all the details included here are not finalized and will likely change as we continue to build.
The protocol is designed around our belief in pluralism: the need to be flexible and allow for a variety of grant program designs to help communities coordinate funding for their shared needs in the way that suits them best.
While the protocol is not yet available for public use, we wanted to provide a sneak peak at the contracts that make up the protocol in the spirit of building in public.

- How does Musk deal with Twitter fake news? The new "network verification" function has become the focus.
With Musk's "Amnesty" Twitter account blocked from next week, the social media platform's ability to deal with rumors and misleading information will face a severe test, which just happens to be an excellent opportunity to test new online functions.
Shortly after the acquisition of Twitter, Musk publicly announced that this social media platform needs to be the most accurate source of global information. Boss Ma also publicly announced that with the function called "CommunityNotes" being introduced to all users, it will have a powerful impact on combating rumors.

CoinShares, a European cryptocurrency investment and research company, revealed that it held more than $31 million in financial venture capital on the troubled cryptocurrency exchange FTX, calling it a "limited amount of venture capital".
"CoinShares confirmed the sound financial position and quantified the finite risk funds for FTX Exchange, and confirmed that the group had no venture capital dealings with Alameda Research, the sister company of FTX," a Twitter post from CoinShares said on Thursday.
The post also pointed out that CoinShares' exchange-traded products (ETFs) "are still completely hedged and mortgaged".
