# GG23 - How We’re Powering Retroactive Funding - Metrics That Matter #Web3 GG23 is piloting metrics-based retro funding to reward mature OSS projects based on real, measurable impact on the Gitcoin Community. At Open Source Observer, we collaborated closely with the Gitcoin team to design a transparent, data-driven metrics framework rooted in verifiable public data — including Allo GMV, donor engagement patterns, and GitHub activity. Our goal was to help badgeholders make informed decisions by surfacing clear signals of long-term impact. Instead of voting on individual projects, badgeholders will vote on a set of impact metrics with their weights applied across all projects. This helps reduce voter fatigue and allow funding decisions to focus on outcomes rather than popularity. The metrics have been selected to reduce over-reliance on any one indicator and the combination of the metrics provides a more nuanced evaluation of impact​.
