Our first funding round was a massive success!
Congratulations to all the Ethereum security projects collecting about $1.6M in total and to Giveth for organizing a fantastic QF Round.
What started as a 500 ETH matching pool ultimately grew to 637 ETH+ thanks to ecosystem contributions.
Shout out to
@wintermute_t for adding $200K to the matching pool and to
@Quantstamp whose early $50K donation helped kick off momentum for direct matching pool contributions across the round.
We also saw over $300k+ in direct donations to 134 projects!
Our hope is that one day using Ethereum will be safer than using banks. To get to that day we believe it will require a community effort. This round validates that approach.
