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 goods in the Ethereum ecosystem.

The funding mechanism includes two grant pools:

A. Direct donations from community contributors

B. A matching prize pool from sponsors

With a quadratic funding algorithm, the cost of each vote to a single project from a single contributor will increase, this encourages community contributors to donate to more projects.

To know more about quadratic voting, check the article Quadratic Funding algorithm by Vitalik Buterin.
