**This grant application is focused on both retroactive funding and raising funds for a project that I'm working on that should impact the Gitcoin ecosystem in a positive way.

I guess that my "retroactive" contributions as a Gitcoin Citizen can be divided into three categories Gitcoin "shilling", community support and stewardship:**

1.Gitcoin serial "shiller" - I'm a serial shiller for public goods and Gitcoin. I think I've promoted Gitcoin to almost every project/person that I've talked with in the crypto hemisphere and also in all the national crypto conferences I've attended.

2.Community support for Gitcoin on Discord(in the #peer-support channel) starting from 1st of April until the present moment.

• I’ve helped and guided at least 100 people around various subjects related to the Gitcoin grants, passport, community, ethos, products, history, methodology and more.
• I was one of the first people who noticed that the Guild campaign lead to some errors related to the roles and supported the community until the DAO created a bot to help people out.
• Actually started supporting my peers before the Gitcoin Citizen round was announced officially(started on the 1st of April :D)

3.Steward Started as a steward in early 2022 and I hope I can do be better and better at it as time goes by. Proud to be nominated as the fourth best steward/2022 according to Gitcoin :D

Some of my activities as a steward: -advocated for fairness and transparency in all matters related the grants program(reviews, processes, -always shared my honest(and sometimes newbies) views on numerous topics and provided feedback to various forum posts

In 2022 I was one of the recipients of the Outstanding stewards awards.

My only interests are the success of Gitcoin DAO, the adoption of the protocol and the empowerment of our community + a great grant funding experience for everyone!

FYI. I’m working on a solo project that has the goal of mapping all the public goods in web3. Stay tuned for more info. 60% of the donations/matching funds from this grant will all go into building the “Public Goods Portal”.
