Vitalik: Gitcoin Grants' deep funding mechanism needs to adapt to the needs of "chaotic times".

CoinFeed reported on March 11 that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that Gitcoin Grants' "deep grants" are ongoing, and a significant round of funding has recently been completed. Vitalik advised developer Devansh Mehta to continue refining the model (including its prediction market version), but to ensure that design details and funding sources are adapted to the needs of "chaotic times." He pointed out that the deep grants model currently has two advantages: it reflects meritocracy, avoiding excessive egalitarianism; and it benefits from artificial intelligence while maintaining human dominance. However, in terms of adapting to the needs of "chaotic times," the mechanism still retains a clear "stable era" character—that is, attempting to build a large-scale tool embodying principles of justice and gaining unanimous societal support for its funding.
