This challenge is based on an interview with David Gasquez about funding models and open data in the Web3 ecosystem.

The conversation is about open data portals and how they can be used to earn money. The speaker, David, shares his experience with Gitcoin and Filecoin, two open data portals that he has worked with. He explains how he has earned a significant amount of money for open source work. David also shares his thoughts on why open data portals are important and how they can be used to create value. He mentions that open data portals can be used to create datasets that can be used by others, and that this can lead to valuable new discoveries.
