We propose to set the matching funds for the Program Rounds in GG22 as follows: $1.125M total from the Gitcoin.eth multisig. This proposal is to pre-ratify the allocation of funds to expedite the process, ensuring a smooth and efficient round execution.

After the post-round review is completed, we will post the round results on the governance forum, allowing the community one week for discussion and feedback before payouts are made.

Proposed Matching Fund Allocation The proposed matching funds of $1M will be distributed across the following OSS Program Rounds:

Web3 Infrastructure Round: $300k dApps & Apps: $300k Developer Tooling & Libraries: $300k Hackathon Alumni: $100k The proposed matching funds of $125k will be distributed across the following Community Rounds:
