Ep. 3 Exploring the Future of Public Goods Funding with Sophia Dew

In today's episode with Sophia Dew we dive into the future of public goods funding and explore the Public Goods Network, Gitcoin, and Funding the Commons. Sophia illuminates their collective efforts to develop a more transparent and efficient system for funding public goods. We discuss retroactive funding models and the role of hypercerts, a tool that has the power to verify and reward impact in a multitude of use cases. Sophia explains the distinction between the foundational protocol behind a hypercert, and the practical applications being built upon it. We finish by contemplating the future of public goods funding, while stressing the need for an open evaluator ecosystem and a bottom-up approach to system design. Enjoy!
