- QF works to amplify and distribute a pool of funds with crowdfunding. It invites community members to make donations that act as votes on where to allocate available funds. With QF, a project receives a portion of the funds based the number of unique supporters it has over the amount of total money raised. Meaning, the broader the support for a project, the bigger the portion of matching funds it receives.

"Gitcoin's quadratic funding gives the community a voice, with the match aligning more with the number of contributors rather than just the amount funded. Blockchain Association is proud to have been included in multiple advocacy rounds, allowing us to continue to advocate for the industry in Washington, D.C."

"The new Gitcoin Grants Stack gave our team of community-elected round operators everything they needed to run a grants round for the DeSci community. This official frontend interface lets us use the Allo protocol to fund projects in our emerging space, and has also dramatically improved the UX for grantees to create and submit projects. The product already works in beta – and I'm excited to use all the great features that are on the roadmap."

"Grants stack doesn’t only give you the ability to run a quadratic funding round, but also the tools and the community to support running it in a credibly neutral way. Gitcoin Grants Stack is the only option for allocating funds that scales and isn’t pure plutocracy!"
