These efforts are purposefully directed and tailored to align with the specific needs of each area, leveraging my expertise as a Security Professional to enhance their efficacy.\n\n**EI: Network Effects**\nSince my engagement in the GG19 round and preceding rounds as a Donor, I have actively advocated for the Gitcoin initiative within the ecosystem, endeavoring to increase participation from both donors and grantees. This outreach extends to individuals within my Security Ecosystem as well as those who have encountered my discussions about Gitcoin across various web3 platforms, including threads and Twitter spaces. As a result of these efforts, there has been notable expansion not only within Gitcoin but also within Passport, evidenced by the growing number of participants signing up for future rounds, thereby catalyzing a sustained and far-reaching ripple effect of network growth.\n\n**EI: Community First**\nThroughout and subsequent to the GG19 round, I am actively engaged in all discussions within Gitcoin, Gitcoin Citizens, and relevant Twitter Groups, offering assistance to individuals with any security-related inquiries pertaining to Gitcoin or the broader ecosystem. I consistently strive to foster a positive environment within Web3 and ensure that all stakeholders within the ecosystem, particularly from a security perspective, can engage with Gitcoin safely and securely. My priority has always been to support users who may not be familiar with security practices by guiding them towards freely available tools and providing comprehensive insights into social engineering and web3-related scams to mitigate risks effectively. This voluntary effort remains pro bono, and I am committed to its continuation, as prioritizing the community's well-being underscores our commitment to fostering a secure and inclusive environment within the Gitcoin ecosystem.\n\n**EC - People: Deepen engagement and grow participation in Gitcoin\u2019s ecosystem**\nI have been consistently engaging across various facets of the Web3 ecosystem, focusing on people, innovation, and impact from a security standpoint. This encompasses a range of initiatives, including the dissemination of daily online security content aimed at enhancing awareness and safeguarding users against evolving scam tactics, resulting in the protection of hundreds of ecosystem participants.\n\nFurthermore, I provide assistance to individuals who have unfortunately fallen victim to scams, offering support to recover funds from compromised wallets within the PGN network and securing their social media accounts or Discord channels to prevent future incidents. This commitment to prioritizing the well-being of individuals establishes me as a trusted resource within the community, sought after for advice and assistance during challenging situations.\n\nIn terms of innovation, I actively explore novel approaches to disseminate security education, employing methods such as polls, quizzes, and promoting live classes at Boring Security, where I contribute towards personal security fundamentals. These efforts are aimed at making a significant impact within the ecosystem, evidenced by the numerous expressions of gratitude I receive, ranging from successfully recovering donated funds from scammers to preventing users from falling victim to potential scams, as attested by their post-interaction feedback.\n\n**EC - Impact: Forward Gitcoin as a powerful impact-driven brand**\nI chose to focus on this area because I firmly believe that the security education and initiatives I contribute to the Gitcoin ecosystem have a profound impact in establishing the brand as a secure environment without negative connotations, thereby highlighting the positive contributions of Gitcoin to the global community. In a landscape where web3 is frequently associated with negative perceptions of scams, these efforts serve to demonstrate the efficiency and beneficial use of on-chain technologies for positive endeavors.", "hidden": false, "question": "How did your work directly support the area you selected above?

Through proactive engagement, I have facilitated the implementation of safety and security measures to uphold the well-being of the community. This includes the dissemination of recommended free security tools, educating administrators on common social engineering scams to mitigate risks, and providing comprehensive security education initiatives benefiting the entire ecosystem\n\n- Contributed directly to the recovery of over $500 in funds from a compromised wallet, redirecting these resources towards their intended recipients instead of falling victim to automated scam bot operations.\n\n- Received personal expressions of gratitude from individuals who have either experienced scam incidents or avoided falling victim to scams due to the security advice I provided\n\n- Offering complimentary security education serves not only to enhance the safety of the Gitcoin Ecosystem but also contributes to the broader advancement of Web3 towards a more secure environment. By equipping users with the necessary knowledge and tools, these efforts serve as a proactive measure in preventing fraudulent activities and reaching individuals who may be unfamiliar with Gitcoin or lack awareness regarding safety protocols within Web3.\n\nThese quantifiable measures underscore the tangible impact of my efforts in fortifying the security posture and overall well-being of the Gitcoin ecosystem.\n\nIncluding material to reference the above:\n\n- Security Twitter Spaces with Gitcoin that over 11.9K views and over 200+ listeners\nhttps://x.com/gitcoin/status/1754983434374783308\nhttps://x.com/gitcoin/status/1757849388024557692\n\n- Screenshot of impact of views of Security Education in the last few months [Twitter Analytics Screenshot](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880947504181575703/1214787899669745675/Twitter_Analytics_POst.png?ex=65fa6264&is=65e7ed64&hm=65d60361575188731e2b37f0b4d94bd7821c47571cb757a19b6a9825505d3119&)\n\n- Some screenshoots of feedback given to users I have helped either before or after an incident \n[Into to Gitcoin](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/880947504181575703/1214787900416327732/Gitcoin_Thank_you_from_Rob_Text.png?ex=65fa6265&is=65e7ed65&hm=919b07db4142f86e3e0897d100e0a343b6ff5ce47eb2a7be3c8ecc819b6eaeb2&=&format=webp&quality=lossless)\n[Network Effects of Twitter Post about Gitcoin](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/880947504181575703/1214789467467157574/image.png?ex=65fa63da&is=65e7eeda&hm=25d1444d2619678a1f8e01dce85ed7ce8f65e481a7c8d806a306d7e49b275901&=&format=webp&quality=lossless)\n[Helped post-scam](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/880947504181575703/1214790369502306315/scammed_message.png?ex=65fa64b1&is=65e7efb1&hm=8d48315735abe06bfb820e8750e24e93e23791225034a82c7013dc4ce4115243&=&format=webp&quality=lossless)\n[Helping recover these funds from compromised wallet from PGN](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/880947504181575703/1214790964116455475/image.png?ex=65fa653f&is=65e7f03f&hm=1ca07274a827c8de0282ef27fdbb225f0ac904cebc9b8ab5dbb13caa3ec44ebd&=&format=webp&quality=lossless)\n\n- Tweet of highlighting users of GG19 round for security ecosystem empowering users:\nhttps://x.com/nft_dreww/status/1727315073109033453?s=20\n\n- I highly encourage anyone to please review my twitter for all content on my page/highlights section to show the threads and security education I put out from a public perspective https://twitter.com/nft_dreww", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe the impact your work has had on Gitcoin and how you measured this.
