Gitcoin GTC

What GTC actually is on-chain

Gitcoin is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0xde30da39c46104798bb5aa3fe8b9e0e1f348163f. That address, not the ticker GTC, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself GTC, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, GTC is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in GTC itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For GTC the project publishes an active account as @gitcoin. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where GTC sits in the market

At #1370, Gitcoin is in the middle of the small-cap band. Books at this depth are thin enough that one sizeable market order can move the printed price by several percent and retrace within minutes, which is precisely why a single static price target makes a poor trigger — you want a condition that survives one wick. Availability is concentrated in a handful of venues and volume-based delisting is a live risk rather than a theoretical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 3 live GTC order books (Binance, MEXC, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #1370 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

GTC against its all-time high

GTC is more than 95% below its all-time high of $22.37 (on 2021-11-27) — a 103x gap. At this point the record has essentially no analytical value: it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and often a different market cycle. The useful reference for GTC is the downside, not the peak, so the range section below matters more than this one. It was set 5 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

GTC across its historical range

GTC has traded across a 306x range, between $0.0731 and $22.37. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

GTC trades roughly 2.97x above its record low of $0.0731 (on 2026-04-02). Recovery from the bottom has been limited, which means the low is still close enough to function as a real reference level rather than a historical footnote.

GTC supply and valuation data

Gitcoin sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for GTC but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $10.1 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset GTC is

Gitcoin is a DeFi protocol token, which ties it to total value locked and to the interest-rate environment on-chain. These assets carry a beta to the market plus a second exposure that is easy to miss: protocol risk. A contract exploit or an oracle failure repriced instantly and independently of any market move, and that tail is a real component of holding the token.

CoinGecko files GTC under 4 categories, including Near Protocol Ecosystem, Ethereum Ecosystem, Paradigm Portfolio, Governance. CoinGecko also records deployments on NEAR (42 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading. Worth flagging from the metadata: GTC appears in the Paradigm portfolio.

How to set a Gitcoin alert that is worth receiving

Gitcoin is the ERC-20 at 0xde30…163f on Ethereum — quoted on 3 venues we stream — high dated 2021-11-27 — rank #1370. On this profile the condition that carries signal is thresholds anchored to the recent range rather than to the all-time high.
