Gitcoin, a prominent open-source software funding platform, has made waves in the cryptocurrency and blockchain community with its recent <a href="https://blockworks.co/news/gitcoin-dao-restructure">announcement </a>of a significant restructuring. The platform, which has been instrumental in supporting public goods funding, is shifting its focus to prioritize grants for the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem. 
<h2 id="b-gitcoin-gained-traction-for-funding-open-source-projects-b">Gitcoin Gained Traction for Funding Open-Source Projects</h2> 
This strategic pivot reflects Gitcoin’s commitment to fostering innovation and growth within the Ethereum community while addressing evolving needs and opportunities in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. 
Gitcoin initially gained traction as a platform for crowdfunding open-source projects and initiatives that contribute to the broader public good. Through its innovative use of blockchain technology and cryptographic incentives, Gitcoin facilitated funding for a range of projects spanning software development, community building, and research. 
The platform’s unique approach, which leveraged the principles of decentralization and collaboration, resonated with developers and donors, leading to its rapid expansion and influence within the crypto ecosystem. 
<h2 id="b-gitcoin-recognized-the-need-to-adapt-new-strategy-b">Gitcoin Recognized the Need to Adapt New Strategy</h2> 
However, as the cryptocurrency landscape evolved, Gitcoin recognized the need to adapt its strategy to better align with emerging trends and priorities. The resurgence of interest fueled by the explosive growth of DeFi applications and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), presented a compelling opportunity for Gitcoin to refocus its efforts and maximize impact. 
By shifting its focus to grants for the ETH ecosystem, Gitcoin aims to support projects and initiatives that are driving innovation and adoption within the vibrant Ethereum community. Furthermore, its decision underscores the platform’s recognition of the importance of DeFi in shaping the future of finance. 
As part of its new plan, the platform has formed two business units. One will focus solely on coordinating product-specific work, and the second, a subDAO, will take charge of community and governance matters. As the platform continues to evolve and adapt to changing dynamics, it remains poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of defi and blockchain technology. 
<h2 id="b-tron-dao-announces-new-grants-program-b">Tron DAO Announces New Grants Program</h2> 
Recall that in 2022, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/tron-dao-announces-new-grants-program-to-foster-growth-of-overall-ecosystem/">TRON DAO announced its developer, Community Ambassador, and Influencer grant programs</a> to BUIDLers on the TRON network. As one of the largest DAOs, TRON always looks for new opportunities to grow its ecosystem and further engage its vibrant global community. 
The Community Ambassador Grant Program encourages a gateway between the DAO and multiple dedicated TRON friends and families to expand the TRON ecosystem. With a quarterly grant allocation of $30,000, the program cultivated relationships between the DAO and established Ambassadors actively engaged within the TRON community.
