Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik Buterin recently provided feedback on the summary report of the GG23 "Predictive Funding Challenge" on the Gitcoin governance forum. He advised the project lead, @devanshmehta, to continue refining the mechanism, but emphasized that the design details and funding sources must be adapted to meet the needs of the "chaotic era" he described.
Vitalik noted that Deep Funding currently has two key advantages: first, it aligns with the principle of meritocracy, avoiding foolish over-equalization; second, it leverages AI in a way that respects human agency.
However, he believes the current architecture still carries a "stable era" mentality—attempting to build a large-scale social tool based on crystallized principles of justice and relying on societal consensus to fund it. He emphasizes that, in today’s turbulent global landscape, funding mechanisms must consider how to operate effectively in the absence of such consensus.
