Analysis Breakdown

Projects eligible for funding were those actively building public goods with teams of 5 of less. To participate, projects needed to get “verified” on Giveth, and the provide additional information through a form. The ENS public goods WG reviewed the final submissions and selected the final list of projects to participate in the round. The purpose of this round was to support for public goods builders, ensuring funding going to small, impactful initiatives.

Only donations from addresses with a Gitcoin passport score of 5 or more, with a value of $0.90 USD or more, were considered eligible for matching. Recirculated donations (funds that went from donor to project & back, or project to donor & back) were disqualified, as were donations found to be part of sybil attacks (h/t to Trustalabs who supported us in the data processing).

Final Remarks & Takeaways

The ENS Builders Round has been a great success, thanks to the dedication and generosity of the community. We sincerely thank all donors and participants who made this round possible.

This forum post will remain active for at least 3 business days to allow for community feedback and questions regarding the results (with a sister post in ENS’s Forum). Barring any issues, Giveth send the matching funds out to the project addresses listed in the spreadsheet above.

If you have any inquiries or require further clarification on the matching results, please feel free to leave a comment on this forum post. Project owners - please check that your OP Mainnet address in the spreadsheet is correct!

Stay tuned for more updates and future rounds as we continue to support and foster innovation within the ENS ecosystem!

Also major praise to @koday for co-authoring this post!

Thanks for sharing @karmaticacid!

I want to give a huge shoutout to all the devs who helped us smoothly operate this round, all 34 projects for participating, and especially everyone who contributed! Quite literally none of this would be possible without all of you.

Also a big thank you to the ENS Public Goods Working Group for sponsoring the matching pool and being a pleasure to work with.

Keep an eye out for more round announcements and QF developments coming soon!

Can someone explain what is UNIQUE DONORS?
And what must be done to become UNIQUE?
Where does the difference between TOTAL DONORS and UNIQUE DONORS come from?

Hey @pryvigo thanks for your question! I can provide some clarity around those figures:

Total donations: The total number of donation transactions that went to the 34 projects during the round.
Unique donors: The number of addresses who donated and were eligible to have their donations matched. This means a Passport score over 5, donation amount over $0.90, and not deemed to be a Sybil or recirculation address during our data analysis process.

Many addresses donate more than once; thus the total donations number will always be greater than the unique donors number. Example: I donated to 4 projects, which would add 4 total donations, but I am only 1 unique donor.

I hope this helped and feel free to reach out with any other questions :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello and thanks!
Can I get more clarification on why some of our donors have not been considered unique donors?
I onboarded most of them personally and I am curious to know what went wrong.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all your feedback on the results. We found 4 donor addresses whose donations should have been included, so updated the results.

There is a new tab in the above spreadsheet call “Final Results” where you can see the (new) and final distribution. The old distribution can be seen on the tab “Results (Old)”.

Please have a final look, as we will be distributing the matching funds within the next couple of days.
