What is Gitcoin?

Functionally, the app has several key features:

Smart Contracts -- Where funded issues are stored and indexed.
Brochureware -- Describes the project.
Funded Issue Explorer -- A searchable index of all of the work available in the system.
Funded Issue Submission / Acceptance flow -- Interface between the application and web3.
API - the HTTPS API
Bot - the GitcoinBot

More about how/why to interact with web3 here.

Technically, the system is architected:

Web3 The main source of truth for the system is the Ethereum blockchain. Check out the smart contracts.
Web2 This part of the app is built with Python, Django, Postgres, and a handful of other tools that are common in the web2 ecosystem.
Web 3 Bridge This is the bridge between web3 and the rest of the application. Mostly built in javascript(web3js) and python(web3py).
Brochureware Just a nice little landing page telling folks what the Gitcoin project is.
