Future rounds

We are excited to say there will be future Metacrisis rounds. We've already received a private donation of 5000 USDC and crowdfunded 3.7 ETH (approx $6,500) for a total of $11,500 towards the next match pool.

To support future rounds, donate to the crowdfunder or get in touch via hello@metacrisis.xyz to make a private donation.

Gas fees

We presume the number of people donating (and possibly applying also) was restricted due to high gas fees on Ethereum mainnet over the time the round was active. Future rounds will almost certainly happen on a significantly cheaper layer 2 network. You can read some further reflections from @owocki here:
