Quadratic Funding Platform

DoraHacks operates one of the largest quadratic funding platforms in Web3, enabling democratic and community-driven grant distribution for open source projects. The platform has facilitated $91.7 million in funding across 57 rounds with 857,421 total votes.

How Quadratic Funding Works

Quadratic funding is a mechanism that optimally allocates matching funds based on community participation rather than donation size. Small contributions from many donors are amplified, ensuring projects with broad community support receive proportionally more matching funds.

Voting Mechanisms

The platform supports multiple voting methods:

• Basic QF: Traditional quadratic funding with straightforward voting
• MACI Voting: Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure for sybil-resistant governance
• aMACI (Anonymous MACI): Enhanced privacy-preserving voting developed by DoraHacks

Ecosystem Integration

Major blockchain ecosystems run grant rounds on DoraHacks including:

• ATOM Economic Zone Quadratic Grant
• Aptos Grant DAO
• Injective Grant DAO
• Flow Grant DAO
• Various Ethereum L2 and ecosystem grants

Platform Features

Organizers can create custom grant rounds with configurable matching pools, voting periods, eligibility criteria, and multi-chain token support. The system handles voter registration, vote tallying, and transparent fund distribution.

Target Users

Ideal for blockchain foundations, DAOs, protocol treasuries, and any organization looking to distribute grants through community-governed, mathematically fair mechanisms.
