I’ve been trying to raise awareness around this concern for months. It seems that SEED Latam and/or ETH Kipu (same founders and social circle) have also been associating themselves with forkdao, an infamous coup group that has been gaming grants across the ecosystem, specializing in staging their presence and appropriating from the impact of other projects. Forkdao has even got away with submitting two different (#1, #2) Gitcoin Grants in R18 for exactly the same project.
Forkdao seems to help out SEED/Kipu a ton when it comes to staging their impact, as you can find many of the members inflating their numbers on social media. I’m very glad more people are looking into this, since these groups won’t hesitate in using their political influence to bully people that don’t align with their interests, even in this forum.
