FAQ

What does Allo do?

For builders: We accelerate builders through funding, distribution, education, and other accelerations.
For funders: We give funders upside in the best builds.
For everyone: We cartography the Design Space of Onchain Capital Allocation and ship world-class intelligence about this emerging frontier.

Is there an $ALLO token?

No.

How do I git involved?

Join the telegram

I'm a builder/investor/creative/influencer/other and want to contribute. Can we talk?

Say hi in the telegram and tag @owocki and @deltajuliet.

I'm a memelord. Can we talk?

Sure, grab some of these memes and LFG.

How do I get allo?

Find a way to add value. A good place to start is introducing yourself in the telegram.

Will I get to slay dragons?

Yes, there will be many dragons (and other problems) to slay along the way. ⚔️✨🐉

They will include:
- moloch traps & other coordination problems 👹
- technical problems, compilerer errors, making great UXes 🛠️
- social problems, especially finding other great builders and building (3,3) w them..✨
- economic problems, like how do we trojan horse in more public goods funding to the world? 💰
- AI problems, like summoning AI druids to toil for you along the way 🤖
- research problems, which could be across all of the above ♾️

Will there really be bitter cold and long hours of complete darkness?

Anything is possible. Nothing is for certain. Crypto is risky and this is the frontier. If you are a sovereign individual with something to contribute and the stomach for a long journey through the next bear market, please DYOR, gear up, and be prepared for the frontier before you party up with us.

If we are successful, honour and recognition will be allocated meritocratically to those who contributed to the success. You can think of our call for "adventurers wanted" as a memetic filter designed to filter out those will not survive the journey through the next long cold bear market. On the plus side, this memetic filter will make sure that those who journey forward are committed to success.


Crypto is a very cyclical industry. It will likely take a couple of cycles before Allo becomes a huge success and can allocate massive abundance to its stakeholers . We believe we have a duty of care to our stakeholders to make sure we only recruit people who can survive in scarcity.

Is this a Gitcoin project?

TLDR Yes it's origin is Gitcoin.

Some history: Allo Protocol was incubated at Gitcoin and after much rumination, discussion, and learning is now launching as an independent project called Allo.Capital (if approved by Gitcoin governance). This project will be governed by a decentralized network of funders, builders, and stakeholders - including Gitcoin. @owocki and @deltajuliet are stewarding it through this transition.

We ❤️ Gitcoin, are proud of all it's accomplished in the last few years, and share it's mission to "Fund What Matters". We will continue to be Gitcoin stewards, Gitcoin founders, Gitcoin Grants users, $GTC holders, and work together at the social, technology, and economic layers to build shared momentum across the two projects.

Why launch Allo.Capital?

TLDR, to
1. create a new brand that is unencumbered by Gitoin's affiliation with public goods & nonprofit work. Allo's brand is focused on sharp, sophisticated, power tools for capital allocation.
2. create a schelling point where we could focus on manifesting the best capital onchain allocation infrastructure.
3. put Gitcoin on equal footing with other builders in the increasingly crowded space. If Allo continued to be a Gitcoin project, builders would always have to worry about our credible neutrality.
4. provide a complementary approach to Gitcoin's.
5. create a systematic distributed search algorithm for rigorously exploring and building the onchain cpaital.
6. To create a structure native to 2025 that is unencumbered by Gitcoin's structure, created in 2021 (while still doing right by Gitcoin by giving it upside in the new structure).

To learn more about the considerations behind this discussion, read the much rumination, discussion, and learning that preceded this move!

Do Gitcoin and Allo.Capital have aligned incentives?

We've taken great care to align these two projects around shared success, and they are design to interoperate by sharing intelligence, distribution, $$$, software and talent.

Over time, we hope to see this network grow into a DAO of DAOs that rises and falls together. A mesh network of coordinating profitable entities to solve the worlds capital allocation problems at scale.

How does Allo.Capital differ from Allo Protocol?

Allo Protocol was focused on a protocol-first go-to-market, whereas Allo.Capital is focused on a Category-first and Network-first go-to-market.

Allo.Capital transcends & includes Allo Protocol in it's approach. Allo.capitals approach includes (1) research (2) software (including protocols) and (3) funding.

Who's working on this?

A ragtag group of amazing artists, engineers, dreamers, thinkers, that Owocki has met through his web3 journey. If you want specifics, checkout the telegram and github to get a sense of who is working on what.

Allo.Capital is designed to become a broad tent over time, we hope that everyone who is building onchain capital allocation infrastructure will eventually be a part of Allo.Capital - either at the social, economic, or technological layers.

In 10 years, if you are massively successful, what does that look like?

We will have built the capital allocation layer of the tokenized internet. To do that, we'll create a new path for builders of funding infrastructure, created an outward wave of positive impact, and produced a return for those who supported us along the way (esp Gitcoin, its users).
