Vitalik Buterin provided feedback on the GG23 "Predictive Funding Challenge" at the Gitcoin Governance Forum, suggesting improvements to the mechanism to meet the needs of turbulent times. He pointed out that Deep Funding has the advantage of being compatible with "elite management" and human agency, but the current structure still leans towards a stable era, and it is necessary to explore how to effectively fund without consensus.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik Buterin recently provided feedback on the summary 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 the “chaotic era” described.

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 the current architecture still carries a “stable era” tone, aiming to build a large social tool crystallizing justice principles and hoping society will reach 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.
