What is Gitcoin (GTC)?

Gitcoin, known by its symbol GTC, stands as a pioneering platform aiming to empower individuals engaged in open-source work, particularly within the Web3 community. This platform is developed on the Ethereum blockchain, assuring a decentralized and secure framework for all its transactions and collaborations. Essentially, Gitcoin serves as an ecosystem that efficiently manages and funds grants, promoting meaningful projects in a decentralized community.

What is a Gitcoin wallet?

A Gitcoin wallet serves as a digital tool storing the private keys necessary for handling your Gitcoin address. It does not contain the GTC itself; rather, your cryptocurrency exists on the blockchain. The principal function of a Gitcoin wallet is to generate and guard these private keys, thus granting you access to manage your GTC accounts. Fundamentally, it is an interface for sending, receiving, and controlling your Gitcoin balance.

How does a Gitcoin wallet work?

Gitcoin wallets implement paired public and private keys to oversee blockchain accounts. The private key, a crucial element for accessing a specific Gitcoin account, needs to be kept confidential, while the public key can be shared to receive GTC. To transfer funds, one must have the corresponding private key. Tangem Wallet is adept at generating and securing private keys within its chip.

What are the types of Gitcoin wallets?

Exchange Gitcoin Wallets:
Use centralized exchanges like Coinbase or Binance to purchase Gitcoin through custodial wallets. This comes with potential risks such as account access restrictions.

Desktop Gitcoin Wallets:
Installed on PCs or laptops, storing private keys locally on a hard drive or SSD.
