What is Quadratic Funding? How does it work?
Quadratic Funding Grant is inspired by Vitalik Buterin and GitCoin’s early practice on the Quadratic Funding Mechanism to fund public capital in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The funding mechanism includes two grant pools:
A. Direct donations from community contributors
B. A matching prize pool from sponsors
The quadratic funding algorithm is intended to increase the weight of community and decrease the weight of a single contributor. It makes it more difficult for a single contributor to invest heavily into one single project, and such encourages community contributors to donate to more projects.
To know more about quadratic voting, check the article Quadratic Funding algorithm by Vitalik Buterin.
Risk Notifications
Please note that the smart contracts generated from the Website will arrange and transfer the donated fund, to conduct quadratic funding algorithm, and distribute contribution funds to the projects of which the voting results in favor. Please understand that the website cannot guarantee the authenticity, legality and validity of the project information, though admins will contact the projects to verify the validity with their best effort. Please be aware of the risks of donation and voting and make rational decisions. HackerLink, or DoraHacks aren’t held responsible for any adverse consequences if any.
