## What is Gitcoin?

Gitcoin is a platform built to fund and support digital public goods, with a particular focus on the open source projects that keep the wider crypto ecosystem running. GTC is its governance token, which means holders can vote on proposals that shape how the platform develops and how grant funding is shared out.

The project is best known for pioneering quadratic funding, a method that weighs how many people back a project rather than only how much money each person puts in. Through Gitcoin Grants it has grown into one of the largest independent ways to fund open source work across blockchain, giving developers a steadier way to be paid for what they build.

In short, GTC is a community-driven token. Holders use it to take part in funding decisions and to help direct resources towards the public infrastructure that other crypto projects rely on.

FAQ

## Buying Gitcoin: FAQs

What is the smallest amount of Gitcoin I can buy?

There is no need to buy a whole token. Digital Surge sets the floor at $1 AUD, so a small parcel of AUD gets you started, and you can top up later at your own pace.

How soon can I buy Gitcoin after signing up?

For most people it is a matter of minutes. After the quick ID check clears, a PayID transfer of AUD tends to show up in under a minute, and GTC is ready to buy at the on-screen rate straight after.

Can I sell my Gitcoin back to AUD later?

Absolutely. GTC can be sold back to AUD on Digital Surge whenever you like, with the Australian dollars sent out to your linked bank account. Nothing locks you in, so the holding period is yours to set.

What can I actually do with GTC?

GTC is a governance token, so its main use is voting on Gitcoin proposals that decide how grant funding is shared and how the platform develops. Holding GTC lets you take part in those decisions and engage with the wider network of open source projects Gitcoin supports.

How does Gitcoin's quadratic funding work?

Quadratic funding weighs the number of people backing a project alongside the total amount contributed, so broad community support counts for more than a handful of large contributions. This helps direct Gitcoin Grants towards the open source projects that the most people actually want funded.

How do I check the live Gitcoin price in AUD?

Look to the top of the page, where the live Gitcoin price in AUD keeps ticking over. The chart shows how GTC has moved versus the Australian dollar, and the converter puts a figure on any order in AUD before you buy.
