Safety First!
To make sure you are staying safe and getting real messages from Gitcoin, please remember to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Always check for "gitcoin.co" - we will only ever send links from this address, nothing else
- Gitcoin will never "airdrop" anything
- Gitcoin will never say anything is "urgent" - we will always give you plenty of heads up about what we are up to
- If you're ever suspicious, err on the side of caution and reach out to someone in the Gitcoin community to check that something is legit
Other recommendations:
- Don’t click links from unknown senders or that look suspicious.
- Don’t download programs or copy/paste code you don't recognize.
- Don’t give your password to anyone!
- Never share or screen-share your authorization token. Seriously. Don't do it.
- Don’t scan any QR codes from people you don’t know or those you can’t verify as legitimate.
- Enable 2-Factor Authentication to keep your account as safe as possible.
- Consider restricting who can DM with you. You can find instructions on how to enable 2FA on your account here.

Along with the creation of GTC, the governance of Gitcoin was handed over to the community via a group of individuals known as Stewards. Stewards are trusted community leaders with delegated (including self-delegated) voting power to make decisions on behalf of the community.
