Gitcoin’s ecosystem builder, Azeem Khan, in an exclusive quote to BSC News said:
“We’re so happy with the results of GR14 so far. The number of individual contributors to projects has been humbling, and we raised over $3m in funds to award grantees from so many amazing companies. Funding public goods are one of the most important things we can do in this space to foster an open internet in the future. It’s a pleasure to get the chance to empower a generation of builders.”
Gitcoin uses quadratic funding as the distribution mechanism, which is based on community participation. When coupled with matching pool funds, quadratic funding will be more beneficial for grantees.

Charting the Future of Open Internet
Gitcoin’s endeavor to empower communities and projects building on Web3 is supported by prominent sponsors such as Coinbase, Yearn Finance, Chainlink, and Polygon.
The platform believes that the most immediate problem, which is funding, can be solved through open-source protocols and decentralized blockchains. Collaboration and creation are now possible using this technology to fund and build digital projects for everyone.
What is Gitcoin:
Gitcoin is a platform that helps fund and coordinate open-source development using quadratic funding. It is a Web3 development and networking platform connecting developers to open source projects and community funding for innovative projects and impactful causes. Gitcoin has distributed over $60 million in total, including $40 million in grants alone. Gitcoin recognizes that adequate funding is the pulse that enables and empowers community builders and projects to build a sustainable ecosystem on Web3.

Binance Executive Tigran Gambaryan Sues Nigeria's NSA and EFCC
The lawsuit reflects escalating tensions amidst allegations of innocence and regulatory scrutiny surrounding Binance Nigeria's alleged involvement in illicit financial activities.
The detained executive of Binance, Mr. Tigran Gambaryan, has taken legal action against Nigeria's National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Gambaryan, along with the firm's Africa Regional Manager, Mr. Nadeem Anjarwalla, filed a fundamental human rights violation suit amidst ongoing legal turmoil.
Gambaryan's legal challenge, initiated alongside his lawyer Mr. Olujoke Aliyu, aims to address his prolonged detention by the federal government. The suit, presented before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenges the legality of Gambaryan's continued confinement and the seizure of his international travel passport.
Gambaryan, a US citizen overseeing financial crime compliance at Binance, contends that his detention and passport seizure violates Section 35 (1) and (4) of Nigeria's 1999 Constitution. His legal team seeks various reliefs, including his release from custody, the return of his passport, a public apology from the NSA and EFCC, and an injunction against future investigations.
Allegations of Innocence Amidst Legal Turmoil
Gambaryan and his colleague's legal representatives maintain their innocence, claiming that the arrests occurred during discussions with Nigerian authorities regarding legal conflicts involving Binance.
In a dramatic turn of events, Binance's African regional manager, Nadeem Anjarwalla, recently fled Nigerian custody. Anjarwalla's escape follows mounting tensions surrounding the Nigerian authorities' investigation into alleged illicit financial activities involving Binance Nigeria, totaling a staggering $26 billion.
