<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 contributorsB. A matching prize pool from sponsorsIndividual 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.To know more about quadratic voting, you can check the <a href="https://vitalik.ca/general/2019/12/07/quadratic.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Quadratic Funding algorithm </a>by VItalik Buterin.If you have any questions, please join the customer service telegram group <a href="https://t.me/DORAHACKS_1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a> Or contact us in <a href="https://discord.com/invite/9jsQJrfP5G" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Discord</a>.
