We need new vehicles to embrace the Internet\u2019s collaborative nature.

We believe we can contribute a piece of the puzzle here \ud83e\udde9 to make it easier to start or join them.\n\nOpen Collective\u2019s mission has always been about providing a new form of organization for the Internet Generation.\n\nIn 2015, we launched Open Collective by creating a new abstraction layer on top of existing non-profits. \n\n\ud83d\udcd6 Read: [We need a new form of association for the Internet generation](https://blog.p2pfoundation.net/we-need-a-new-form-of-association-for-the-internet-generation/2016/01/14) (2015)\n\nThis enabled more than 3500 collectives to exist. Together, they raised more than $100M (https://discover.opencollective.com).

In March 2021, Open Collective and Gitcoin worked together to [bring quadratic funding to web2 open source projects](https://opencollective.com/fundoss) ([see also the wrap party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z10Bpgw6dk)).\n\nAnd in December 2021, with our fiscal host dedicated to climate projects ([allforclimate.earth](https://allforclimate.earth)), we worked together to create the [first Gitcoin Climate Round](https://x.com/gitcoin/status/1466504363635929092) \ud83c\udf0d ([see finale event](https://www.youtube.com/live/W-doVjkkZbg?si=NLGOz-0rV_Petq7N&t=1640)).\n\nHowever, Open Collective has been stuck in the world of fiat. Earlier this month, we decided to \u201cexit to community\u201d the current business, so that we can make space for starting a new web3 branch.\n\n\ud83d\udcd6 Read: [The Open Collective Platform is Moving to a Community Governed Non-profit](https://blog.opencollective.com/the-open-collective-platform-is-moving-to-a-community-governed-non-profit/)\n\n**What if we would fund this new web3 branch as a community?**\n\nHere is our commitment: \n- Everything we do will be open source (always has been)\n- We will do as much on-chain as possible to ensure great compatibility with any other dapp.\n- We will eventually exit the company to the community (like we did with the current branch) through a DAO (with progressive decentralization)\n\n## What would Open Collective v3 offer?\n\nA simple platform to manage common resources as a community (aka commons):\n\nConcretely:\n- A way for your project to provide much more visibility on how you are spending the funds you raised (with gitcoin, crypto, fiat)\n- A user friendly interface that normies can use to take part in your DAO \n\n\ud83d\udcd6 Read: [A New Chapter for Open Collective: Digital Cooperatives](https://xavierdamman.com/blog/2024/opencollective-for-digital-cooperatives)\n\nOur first test collectives will be the [Commons Hub Brussels](https://commonshub.brussels) (where the [Regen Village](https://regenvillage.brussels) happened during EthCC) and the [Citizen Wallet](https://citizenwallet.xyz) (that has already participated in a few Gitcoin Grant Rounds).
