Hey Gitcoiners!
John Ellison here from ReFi DAO–super excited to share a Gitcoin coordiNATION game with you…
Together with Green Pill, Regens Unite and Metacrisis.xyz, ReFi DAO is hosting a four-day coordiNATION game across 15 cities to onboard new donors, match funders and projects into the Gitcoin ecosystem during the Beta grants round. The event will take place in-person across a variety of cities and online on Twitter and LinkedIN.
We’ll also host a daily one-hour online pledge sessions for those who are unable to come to these in-person events but want to participate!
Gitcoin is a powerful online platform and vibrant community that has funded over $50M worth of open source software, climate solutions, decentralized science and other impact initiatives. The problem is, most people and organizations don’t know how to get onto Gitcoin and therefore can’t access the funding! It requires a high technical ability most people don’t have…
That’s where in-person activation stations come in.
It’s like a polling station, but instead of casting a vote on a ballot you show up to a co-working space or other community venue in your city and get support from experts who can help you get setup in Gitcoin in less than 30 minutes.
The process is quite simple: All you need to do is install a simple browser extension or mobile app, deposit funds, verify your identity and donate to your favorite projects!
Once you’ve donated to a project, you can then also create your own project to get funded in the next Gitcoin round—which runs every single quarter!
The power of Gitcoin cannot be understated, and given the complex web of crises we face as a society, we need access to as many open, democratic and effective funding mechanisms we can possibly get!

This game is being hosted both in-person and online, with events taking place across 21+ cities. Each event is organized by a number of different online communities that have begun gathering into specific cities to meet regularly and work towards a shared mission of ‘regeneration’.
If you are a local web3 community inspired by the power of Gitcoin’s open source funding legos, you should host an event! All you need to do is find a venue, create an event on lu.ma or eventbrite and submit it using the form below.
