Onchain Capital Allocation: The Next Frontier
summary
Gitcoin delivers about $60 million to open-source developers using quadratic funding and expands toward retroactive public goods funding and a planned Aloe protocol that modularizes strategies for accumulating, allocating and distributing tokenized treasuries. Examples include conviction voting for ongoing priorities, self-curated registries (Protocol Guild) that funnel grants to protocol developers, and Optimism-style retro rounds that total roughly $100 million. Claims: multi-mechanism allocation is necessary, identity and collusion resistance remain unsolved, and a “capital allocation swiss army knife” of composable onchain primitives is underway.
