The Gitcoin Passport is a pivotal component of the Gitcoin ecosystem, which substantiates your contributions and participation. One of the key features of the Gitcoin Passport is the Gitcoin Grants stamp, a recognition of your valuable donations during the Gitcoin Grants rounds.

To ensure you are fully informed and assisted in your quest to earn the Gitcoin Grants stamp, it is important to meticulously understand and meet the following criteria:

  • Minimum Donation Amount: A minimum contribution of $1 is required. This benchmark ensures that all donations are substantial and impactful.

Clarifying the Nature of Eligible Gitcoin Grants Rounds:
