Traditional Project Targeting

Gitcoin historically frames projects as discrete initiatives with specific outcomes:

• Open source software development
• Infrastructure projects
• Community-driven initiatives
• Ecosystem support programs

Funding Characteristics:

• Defined project scope
• Measurable deliverables
• Quadratic funding mechanisms
• Community-driven selection processes

Allo Protocol’s Project Framing

Expanded Project Definition

Allo Protocol introduces a more flexible project conception:

• Modular funding mechanisms
• Customizable allocation strategies
• Adaptable eligibility criteria
• Scalable funding infrastructure

Key Innovation:

• Enables diverse funding models
• Supports multiple allocation strategies
• Allows community-specific implementation
• Provides transparent capital distribution

Allo L2: Human Allo Protocol

Paradigm Shift: Human Capital as Projects

Human Allo’s Unique Approach:

• Expertise becomes the primary funding target
• Individual capabilities replace traditional project boundaries
• Talent is treated as a dynamic, investable resource
• Skills become the fundamental unit of allocation
