&quot;We are excited to kick off a series of Grants and hackathons to encourage the developer community to build the next generation of DeFi and dApps,&quot; says Changpeng Zhao (CZ), CEO of Binance. &quot;We believe more innovative ideas will be piloted on BSC in 2021. The developer community is the core of innovation and we plan to nourish it with more developer programs&quot;.
&quot;On-chain governance is an important component of every major public chain ecosystem. Quadratic funding is an effective way to engage the community to support new ideas and early-stage projects built by developers without a limit of time and space.&quot;Says Jiannan Zhang, Founder of Dorahacks.

<h3>What is Quadratic Funding? How does it work?
</h3>
Quadratic Funding Grant is inspired by Vitalik Buterin and GitCoin&#x27;s early practice on the <a href="https://vitalik.ca/general/2019/12/07/quadratic.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Quadratic Funding Mechanism</a> 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

Individual community contributors can vote for their preferred projects to push them ahead in the funding round. The votes cost BNBs, which are directly donated to the respective projects after the round.

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.
