In December, as part of the Alpha Round Test Season, we kicked off with UNICEF's round to be the first to test our new grants protocol. We are excited to have begun this season with one of the largest NGO's, and welcoming so many incredible grantees to participate.

Illuminate Hack/22, Moonbeam’s latest hackathon featuring 4 of the most prominent protocols in the General Message Passing (GMP) space, recently wrapped up. Allow us to take you back to recap the event and dig into some of the coolest connected contracts dApps that emerged from the hackathon.
Decentralized notifications have the potential for a robust notification ecosystem without the centralized drawbacks of web2 notifications.

A year in web3 can feel like a lifetime. While the downfall of firms like Celsius, FTX, and 3AC dominated news headlines in 2022, the progress of Gitcoin and the wider regenerative community have given us high hopes for what web3 can accomplish in the future.
Grants provide early support for web3 projects driving the space forward while helping teams and communities retain their sovereignty. This helps ecosystem funders– from prominent protocols to tokenized communities– develop the technology and creative assets necessary to remain competitive. It also helps attract and retain talent within ecosystems by providing opportunities for developers and creatives to work on challenging projects.
A big thank you to Jane Cho and Afra Wang from Mask Network who both contributed to crafting this piece.
