About Gitcoin

Gitcoin (GTC) is a platform for funding public goods and open-source development in the Web3 ecosystem. Through Quadratic Funding rounds, Gitcoin distributes millions in matching funds to open-source projects proportional to the number of unique contributors. Major protocols including Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap, Compound, and Optimism have contributed to Gitcoin matching pools, collectively distributing $60M+ to open-source projects. GTC is the governance token for GitcoinDAO, controlling grants program direction, treasury allocation, and protocol development. Gitcoin also pioneered soulbound tokens (Passport) for anti-sybil identity.

How to Swap GTC

Swapping Gitcoin (GTC) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since GTC is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select GTC as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send GTC to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.

How to Store GTC

GTC (ERC-20) is stored in MetaMask, Ledger, or any Ethereum wallet. GTC governance uses Snapshot voting plus on-chain execution via GitcoinDAO's portal.
