The team is also exploring more futuristic concepts such as private voting systems, angel investing 2.0, and impact attestations.

Show highlights:

• Kevin's background and how he came to found Gitcoin and why Meg joined the company
• The differences between Gitcoin 1.0 and 2.0
• What quadratic funding is and why it is important in the blockchain ecosystem
• The problem of sybil attacks and how Gitcoin Passport aims to solve it

• How Gitcoin is trying to solve capital allocation efficiency with Allo (Capital Allocation) Protocol
• What streaming quadratic funding is and how it differs from traditional quadratic funding
• How retroactive public goods funding (RPGF) works
• What conviction voting is and how it addresses some of the current problems in DAOs
• Which projects are using Gitcoin Passport and what for
• Why Gitcoin is so focused on the Ethereum ecosystem and whether they will launch in other chains
• What the purposes of the GTC token are and how it could become a flywheel for Gitcoin
• How Gitcoin can become sustainable long-term, since it's free to use at the moment
• The features that are coming down the line for Gitcoin, including privacy and onchain "angel investing" 
• What the future could look like if Gitcoin succeeds in its mission, according to Kevin
