Public goods are vital — yet finding sustainable funding remains an uphill battle. That’s why projects like Public Nouns are rewriting this story, pioneering new ways to fund the infrastructure, tools, and initiatives to benefit amazing impact projects using Web3 technology. At Giveth, we’ve had the HONOR of counting with Public Nouns as a Quadratic Force sponsor not just once, not twice — but SEVEN times! Their ongoing commitment to funding public goods has helped amplify impact across our Quadratic Funding rounds, empowering and supporting hundreds of public goods projects. 🏛 The Origins of Public Nouns Born in 2021 from the inspiration of Nouns DAO, Public Nouns took the idea of continuous funding and applied it directly to public goods. By auctioning off unique public goods-themed NFTs, they’ve managed to raise over 200 ETH, all directed towards funding public goods projects chosen by their DAO members. With backing from leading Web3 organizations like Gitcoin, Optimism, MetaCartel, CLR.fund, and more, Public Nouns has been a powerhouse for funding experiments that push public goods forward. 💜 A Strong Alliance Public Nouns has been a consistent champion of our QF rounds. Here’s a look at the QF rounds they’ve supported: 🔹 1st QF Round (July 2023): Giveth’s first-ever QF experiment, the Alpha Round🔹 2nd QF Round: Optimism Round🔹 3rd QF Round: Giving Season QF Round🔹 4th QF Round: Galactic Giving Round🔹 5th QF Round: GIV-Earth QF Round🔹 6th QF Round: GIV-a-Palooza Round🔹 7th QF Round (January 2025): Loving on Public Goods 💘 🙉 What’s Next?

What’s PoolTogether? 🏆 PoolTogether is a decentralized, no-loss prize savings protocol that makes saving fun and rewarding. It’s simple: 1️⃣ Deposit Funds: Users deposit crypto into a shared pool. 2️⃣ Earn Yield: These funds earn yield, which becomes the prize pool. 3️⃣ Win Prizes: The prize pool is distributed to lucky winners, but even if you don’t win, you never lose your initial deposit, and you can withdraw your money at any time! It’s saving but with a twist: Everyone keeps their savings, but a few lucky participants win big. How Giveth Is Using PoolTogether to Fund Public Goods 🌍 We’ve launched a vault where participants deposit common tokens like USDC, ETH, DAI, WETH on Base Instead of 100% of the vault’s yield going into the prize pool, 33% of the yield funds Giveth’s Matching Pool, which is used to support impact projects during our Quadratic Funding Rounds. The remaining 67% of the yield goes into the prize pool, which is distributed as ETH prizes to lucky winners. By participating, you’re directly funding public goods projects and potentially winning ETH — isn’t it great? How to Participate 🎟️ 1️⃣ Deposit tokens into the Vault: Head over to the Giveth Vault and deposit using any of the top tokens available on Base, such as USDC, WETH, DAI, AERO. 2️⃣ Check Back for Prizes: Keep an eye on the vault to see if you’ve won any ETH prizes while knowing that part of the yield is funding public goods projects. Why Join the Giveth Vault? 🌟 You’re funding public goods projects: Your participation helps support public goods initiatives through Giveth’s Matching Pool. 🎁 You could win ETH prizes: You could win the grand prize (currently $62,000 worth of ETH) every 3 months AND smaller daily prizes.
