Our History

The idea for GoodGhosting was born at the ETHLondon 2020 hackathon and revisited during the summer of 2020 as part of Gitcoin’s genesis KERNEL program. Here, the current team formed and started working on the minimum viable product (MVP), while connecting with other builders, mentors and founders in the Web3 ecosystem.
Since then, the GoodGhosting team has hit a number of milestones:
