Without being able to offer this, we rely on pure volunteer efforts from the community. The GR15 DeSci round was managed by Gitcoin team members and volunteers, and the Beta Round was managed by community members elected through a democratic on-chain process with no promise of reward for their work. The DeSci Beta Round stewards were retroactively rewarded through Citizens Round #1, but relying on community members who can volunteer time upfront in hopes of a retroactive reward limits the diversity of who gets the opportunity to contribute.\n\nI believe that enabling aligned public goods ecosystems to thrive within Gitcoin is essential for expanding Gitcoin\u2019s reach and impact.
