Public Goods are resources that are accessible to all and not depleted by individual use. In Web3 and ReFi contexts, public goods often refer to things like open-source code, shared infrastructure, educational content, or community governance tools — all of which benefit the ecosystem without direct profit motive.
Funding public goods in crypto often relies on innovative mechanisms like quadratic funding, DAO coordination, or protocol-level incentives. Projects like Gitcoin, Celo Public Goods, and Regen Coordination are helping pioneer sustainable models for supporting public goods on-chain.
