We've been closely monitoring the sustainability of public goods. While we've conducted systematic studies on their sustainable status, the current reality is that many issues still need our attention. The two most pressing questions are:

• Where does the funding for public goods come from?
• Which public goods should the funding be allocated to?

Many have attempted to address these questions. Gitcoin might be the best current solution for public goods funding distribution, and RetroFunding tries to solve the funding source and distribution scheme for public goods within the OP ecosystem.

These are all positive developments, but are they enough? The answer is no. The Web3 ecosystem continues to grow, with more users and developers joining in the future, and more public goods will require funding.

The prosperity of the Web3 ecosystem is inseparable from the support of public goods. However, developers of public goods often struggle to share in the benefits of the ecosystem's prosperity. If builders of public goods could participate in the distribution of underlying ecosystem profits, sustainability could be achieved.

In the Ethereum ecosystem, the CSR (Contract Secured Revenue) model allows excellent contract developers to share in the chain's gas fee revenue—a great idea, but it has some significant issues:

• The on-chain CSR mechanism is vulnerable to vampire attacks.
• Many public goods originate from off-chain sources.

We aim to build PGNode as a bridge, allowing public goods to distribute profits from the underlying ecosystem and thus achieve sustainability.

What is PGNode?

In a nutshell: PGNode raises sustainable funding for public goods.

PGNode is a new initiative by LXDAO, aiming to raise sustainable funds for the development of public goods by participating in the construction of the entire Web3 ecosystem infrastructure.
