Gitcoin (GTC) is the governance token for the Gitcoin ecosystem, used by holders to participate in decisions around public goods funding and grants. Users typically swap GTC when moving in or out of governance positions, or after receiving grant rewards and wanting to exchange into another asset. Because GTC operates exclusively on Ethereum, all swaps involve on-chain Ethereum transactions.
Before swapping GTC, confirm that your receiving address is a valid Ethereum address — GTC exists only on the Ethereum network, so sending to an address on any other network will result in lost funds. Ethereum transaction confirmation times can vary depending on network congestion, so factor that into your timing if you have a deadline. The Zest widget displays the expected output amount before you confirm, giving you a chance to review the rate and destination details. Double-check your wallet address carefully before proceeding, as non-custodial swaps cannot be reversed once submitted.
