Open source funding is definitely going to play a role in how Web3 projects evolve, but nailing down the exact mechanics? That's going to take time. There's no quick answer here—we're still figuring out what sustainable models actually work in practice. Whether it's grants, token incentives, or community-driven contributions, each approach has its own trade-offs. The real challenge is finding what sticks for different ecosystems without sacrificing decentralization or quality.

Honestly, no one can see clearly now. This is what the exploration stage is like.

At the end of the day, you still have to cross the river by feeling the stones; there's no such thing as a silver bullet.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds very nice, but there are many issues when it comes to implementation. Decentralization of power and quality assurance? ಠ_ಠ I doubt it.

Honestly, right now everyone is experimenting and nobody really knows which model can survive.

To be honest, open-source fundraising is a tangled mess right now, with grants, tokens, and community contributions each having their own pitfalls.
