Gitcoin Governance Contracts

For Gitcoin governance's initial milestone one release we establish the foundational components of a decentralized governance system based primarily on the standard set by Compound Finance.

The retroactive GTC token distribution is front lined by the Quadratic Lands experience where users claim their GTC tokens based on past activities and contributions on Gitcoin.co. You can find more information on the GTC Airdrop here.

Contract Deployment & Admin Guides:

You can find the Gitcoin Governance repository here.

Here you can find a guide on how to deploy the Gitcoin governance contracts with Brownie.

1 - GTC Token

The GTC.sol contract is an ERC20 contract forked from Uniswap/Compound. Beyond the standard ERC20 functionally it also has a token delegation feature that allows token holders to allocate voting shares to other addresses or delegates. More detailed info on the contract can be found here.

2 - GTC Token Distributor

The primary purpose of our token distribution contract is to facilitate retroactive distribution of GTC tokens to users of the Gitcoin protocol.
