Svmuu News Vitalik Buterin recently provided feedback on the summary report for the GG23 "Predictive Funding Challenge" on the Gitcoin governance forum. He advised the project lead, @devanshmehta, to continue refining this mechanism but emphasized that the design details and funding sources must be capable of adapting to the needs of what he described as a "chaotic era."
Vitalik pointed out that Deep Funding currently possesses two major advantages: first, it is compatible with the principle of "meritocracy," avoiding foolish over-egalitarianism; second, it benefits from AI in a way that is compatible with human agency.
However, he believes the current architecture still carries a "stable era" flavor, attempting to build a large-scale social tool that crystallizes principles of justice and hoping that society will reach a consensus to inject funds. He stressed that in the current turbulent global situation, funding mechanisms need to consider how to operate effectively in an environment lacking such consensus.
