Revolutionizing Web3 Funding: Gitcoin's Schelling Point Unveils New Strategies

Gitcoin, a leading innovator in Web3 funding, is set to host the eighth edition of Schelling Point at ETHDenver, aiming to redefine Web3 funding strategies. The event, initially focused on regenerative and open-source funding, will now explore how crypto funding mechanisms can empower builders and drive long-term success across ecosystems by supporting them at every stage of their lifecycle.

Despite significant investments in grants funding, many Web3 ecosystems struggle to achieve expected growth and returns. The core theme of this year's Schelling Point, "Enabling builder success through a plurality of funding mechanisms," reflects the urgent need for Web3 projects to move beyond one-size-fits-all grants and towards more sustainable capital strategies.

Schelling Point will bring together prominent speakers, such as the Founder & CEO of Protocol Labs and the Founder of Eigenlayer and Butter, to offer practical solutions that enhance funding efficiency, fairness, and measurable impact. Key industry challenges will be addressed, including the gap in long-term builder support beyond early-stage funding, leveraging on-chain analytics and metrics-driven approaches to track funding outcomes, and exploring community-driven models such as quadratic funding and conditional funding markets.

Schelling Point is sponsored by notable organizations like Butter with Uniswap x Optimism, Stellar, Polygon, Filecoin, Human.tech by Holonym, OpenLedger, and more. As a leader in Web3 funding innovation, Gitcoin has distributed over $66M in grants across major EVM ecosystems, including Arbitrum, Optimism, and the Ethereum Foundation. This ensures that Schelling Point remains the premier venue for discussing capital allocation strategies that drive ecosystem growth.

Whether you're a builder, funder, or ecosystem leader, Schelling Point is the place to be to form strategic partnerships and gain actionable insights into the evolving landscape of Web3 funding. For more information, visit: https://schellingpoint.gitcoin.co/
