Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki, who stepped away from the open-source funding platform last June, announced on Tuesday that he plans to return to the project.

However, he signaled that his upcoming work on Gitcoin will be different from his previous role. Co-founded by Owocki in 2017, the Consenys-funded startup fully transitioned to a DAO last year. (Disclosure: ConsenSys Mesh is one of 22 investors in Decrypt.)

Gitcoin is an organization that connects members of online communities, and it funds the development of open-source software through Gitcoin Grants. Several decentralized projects, including the exchange Uniswap, began as Gitcoin Grants before becoming prime examples of projects built on Ethereum using smart contracts that serve the public good.

According to Owocki, his new role will boil down to fostering better alignment between those involved in Gitcoin. That includes harmonizing those who are focused on the project’s Web3 ecosystem elements with people who participate in Gitcoin’s governance process.

“My role is to be a network catalyst for all of them—to help everyone synthesize information across the network and grasp the whole elephant of what Gitcoin is,” he told Decrypt. “To be clear, I’m not dictating. I’m bottoms-up gathering intelligence and helping them synthesize their roadmap together.”
