ChainCatcher News, Vitalik Buterin recently provided feedback on the summary report of the GG23 “Predictive Funding Challenge” at the Gitcoin Governance Forum. He suggested that the project lead @devanshmehta continue to improve this mechanism, but must ensure that the design details and funding sources can adapt to the needs of what he describes as a “turbulent era.”

Vitalik pointed out that Deep Funding currently has two main advantages: first, it is compatible with the “elite management” principle, avoiding foolish over-egalitarianism; second, it benefits from AI in a way that respects human agency.

However, he believes that the current architecture still carries a “stability era” tone, aiming to build a large social tool crystallizing justice principles and hoping for societal consensus to inject funds. He emphasized that, in the current turbulent global situation, funding mechanisms need to consider how to operate effectively in environments lacking such consensus.
