What Funding the Commons delivers, in absolute numbers — public-goods funding facilitated, builders and projects through our residencies and hackathons, and a growing community — read live from our metrics, each carrying its source.
What FtC has delivered, in absolute numbers — read live from Metric History.
The PGF numbers FtC stands behind: the total public-goods funding FtC has distributed through the ecosystem — the match pools it fiscally hosts (campaigns: Tor QF, Artizen Frontier Fund) plus the prize funds paid to builders through its hackathons — and what FtC has received as a grantee. Gross volume FtC moves for the ecosystem (pool totals, not per-project allocation), not revenue FtC keeps. Read from Metric History; written by ftc-pgf-pipe.py.
