ETHBarcelona was the first Ethereum Conference held in Spain. The community believes that the grants round was the first-ever Europe-based round to focus exclusively on public goods. This unique setting allowed ETHBarcelona to draw attention to regionally-based, small and medium-sized projects that were working on Public Goods.
Further, it was a financially challenging time for impact projects. There are many notable crises across the world combined with the ‘crypto winter’. Social and climate impact funding was difficult to secure in the economic environment. ETHBarcelona was committed to: Leadership in building and supporting the community of builders who ambitiously tackle a wide array of issues to benefit the wider society and make history doing it.
For this grant round, $30,300 was allocated to projects working on Public Goods. The allocation of funds was determined by votes from participating ETHBarcelona NFTicket holders. Each ticket holder was allocated a basket of votes, and a total of 920 votes were cast across 27 projects.
Every ETHBarca’s event attendee’s ticket was an NFT. With this NFT, every participant had a basket of votes to vote for their favourite project working on Public Goods. Voters could also claim 0.1 matic to cover their gas fees from voting.
