What if matching pool sponsorship came with a reward? ✨ Six are now live on the Frontier Fund on @Artizen: from a $100 shoutout to a $5,000 Town Hall you curate with us. You'd be backing 70 projects building public goods infra, at 3x match. artizen.fund/index/mf/fundin…

Long live internet freedom! ✊ Our community is used to quadratic funding rounds quite a bit already, but this must be the first time (?) that such a funding mechanism actually branches out of our Ethereum bubble. Exciting! Let's support them - I just participated 🖤
