AIRDROP STRATEGY 🪂
15Birds1Stone, Gitcoin edition v2
What is the Strategy? Choose your favourite causes on Gitcoin, donate, help out web3 expansion, and maybe get airdrops in the future
A curated list of 15 Gitcoin birds 🧙♂️
Important points:
• Gitcoin #15 lasts until Sep 22
• One of $OP criteria was Gitcoin donor (on Ethereum)
• Besides Ethereum, donating via zkSync + Argent can be a good idea $ZKS $ARGENT
• All birds here have "Quadratic Funding": this means that your donation is matched
Gitcoin created a "Trust bonus" to prevent donation Sybil Attacks
If your account is trustworthy, your donations will weigh more for Quad matching

Supporting public goods ✅
My criteria when choosing these candidates were:
• Decentralization as a core value
• They need the funds to grow
• They are democratizing access to crypto and web3
• No token yet for any of the public goods. They might launch one 🪂
