Funding the Commons bridges the public goods community across Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy and industry. We do this by convening builders and practitioners, researchers and academics, and funders and philanthropists, catalyzing innovation in public goods. Funding the Commons is the premier conference focused on public goods in web3. The 6th edition of Funding the Commons takes place on 15-16 July with the beautiful backdrop of Paris, France. The event is hosted at the renowned Sorbonne Université, which has the distinction of being one of the two oldest universities in Europe, with origins dating back to the 13th century. Paris is our key in-person event during 2023. Funding the Commons is incubated by Protocol Labs, and supported by Gitcoin, Golem Foundation, and countless other organizations and individuals that enable it to become a reality.

Epoch Zero is a one-time funding event, where Golem Foundation & Octant will be donating 1 million dollars to public goods projects: Clr.fund, DAO Drops, Drips, Ethereum Cat Herders, ETHStaker, Giveth, Gitcoin, Kernel, Protocol Guild, & Supermodular. To say thank you to donors of public goods projects, we want to distribute this POAP to community members who care about funding public goods. Join us as we aim to elevate the ecosystem with a variety of experiments via the staking rewards of up to 100,000ETH.

The POAP is the key that unlocks all of what LFGO has to offer. We are creating a network of experts who want to share their gifts and talents with each other.
