## Resource

New @greenpillnet pod out today! In this episode, Kevin Owocki sits down with Matthew Monahan (Ma Earth) and Holke Brammer (Hypercerts Foundation) to discuss a bold new experiment: a $1 million Quadratic Funding round designed to bring public goods funding beyond the crypto ecosystem. After years of learning from Gitcoin Grants, the conversation explores what comes next. How can communities fund local regeneration? How do Hypercerts create measurable impact? And what does it take to make coordination mechanisms accessible to everyday people not just Web3 natives? Together, they unpack the lessons from Ethereum, the future of regenerative funding, and why building open infrastructure matters more than ever. Topics covered: The $1M Ma Earth Quadratic Funding round Lessons learned from Gitcoin Grants Bringing Quadratic Funding to local communities Hypercerts and impact verification Public goods beyond crypto Open infrastructure and regenerative finance Ethereum's role in the next generation of coordination AI, collective intelligence, and future collaboration The core idea: Better coordination creates better communities. Quadratic Funding and Hypercerts aren't just crypto experiments they're tools for building a more collaborative future.
