Dappnode is a free and open-source platform that allows anyone to easily deploy and run decentralized applications (DApps) and validators. By donating to Dappnode, you are supporting the development of a better user experience for the web3 ecosystem and helping to decentralize networks.

Dappnode software is completely free, and more than 4,000 validators in Ethereum use it to maintain their nodes keeping them up-to-date. Dappnode doesn't, and can't, charge anything for its services because it's built with self-sovereignty and privacy by design.

SUPPORT THIS PROJECT ON GIVETH!

In this section, we highlight some of the newly verified projects on Giveth. This is a great place to discover exciting initiatives and support them early on in their Giveth journeys, while of course earning some sweet GIVbacks. 😍

🤖 BirbleAI seeks to bring together the best of Web3 & AI. They are building their platform to make it easier for developers to create applications that can be used by the general public for free. Donate to help them create tools for building public goods!

🗺️ Ekonavi maps ecological projects in Brazil & beyond to showcase & incentivize their work. Donations will fund grants for courses & events on agroforestry & bioconstruction, to incentivize the organization of more such activities globally. 

🍲 Inay for a Cause was born out of a deep sense of empathy & compassion for the children and families affected by hunger in the Philippines (48% of the population lives in poverty). Donate to help provide at least one complete meal per day.

💡 Neurodiversity Foundation is a nonprofit aiming to create an environment for all individuals to enhance societal equality. Donate to help nourish connections & cooperation between neurodivergent & neurotypical individuals.  

👭🏿 SAFE PAD and menstrual hygiene awareness is raising funds to provide basic menstrual hygiene products & education for young girls in South Africa who are often left with horrible conditions, missing out on school, and facing stigma. Donate to support young women in the area of Limpopo.

🚌 Solarpunk Nomads is building a tribe of nomadic changemakers. They are raising funds to build zero-carbon, minimalistic vehicles to educate & inspire and accelerate our transition to a more sustainable society.

🎧 VR Headsets for Criminology Students The mission of the Metaverse Society of Criminology ("MSC") is to increase the quantity and quality of metaverse criminology ("metacrim"). They are the field's first society without physical borders. A massive barrier to metacrim is the cost of virtual reality (VR) headsets. Support their mission to launch an inclusive program for "junior meta-criminologists".

This month’s GIVfriend is Optimism. 

Optimism is a leading layer 2 that truly believes in the power of public goods. Did you know that 20% of the initial OP token supply is allocated to funding public goods through Retroactive Public Goods Funding?

Optimism just announced the distribution for the second round of RetroPGF, and Giveth has received 129.8k $OP which is by far the MOST funding we have ever received! 💙
