What will the next era of on-chain public goods funding look like? In this episode, Kevin Owocki, founder of Gitcoin and Allo Capital, shares his vision for Gitcoin 3.3—a post-AI, decentralized, and high-speed approach to capital allocation. Speaking at the Impact Evaluators Research Retreat, Kevin outlines how Gitcoin is evolving from a grants platform into an arena for capital allocation innovation, where multiple funding mechanisms compete, improve, and scale across the Ethereum ecosystem.

Kevin explains why Gitcoin is moving beyond its quadratic funding roots to embrace a pluralistic funding festival, empowering builders of capital allocation and impact evaluation software to test and scale their tools. By shifting from monolithic grants to modular domains—like quadratic funding, retroactive funding, and deep governance—Gitcoin aims to create a “proof of allocation intelligence” model. This approach rewards the most effective funding tools while generating long-term value for both the Ethereum community and partnering ecosystems.

Whether you’re a DAO treasury manager, protocol steward, or public goods advocate, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how capital allocation can move at AI-driven speed. Kevin also shares insights into how Allo Capital works as a “McKinsey for on-chain capital allocation” and how Gitcoin can partner with other ecosystems like Protocol Labs, Celo, and Arbitrum to evolve global funding intelligence.
