anchored·5ctGtx…pLveSummary
Allo Protocol is an open-source, EVM-compatible smart contract framework for on-chain capital allocation, developed by Gitcoin and launched on Ethereum mainnet in November 2023. It served as the underlying infrastructure for Gitcoin Grants Stack from 2023 through May 2025, when Gitcoin's software division (Grants Lab) was shut down due to financial constraints, placing Allo in maintenance mode. No fraud allegations, regulatory actions, or security exploits have been publicly documented against the protocol itself.
