about q/acc

Guaranteed liquidity. Anti-rugpull. Sybil resistant. Programmatic decentralization.

Quadratic Acceleration (q/acc) combines the strengths of Quadratic Funding (QF) with those of  Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) in order to create a new mechanism for launching tokens with built-in liquidity, a passive revenue stream and a clear path to community growth.

The Quadratic Accelerator is a collaborative entity under Giveth building the q/acc protocol based on the research of Commons Stack.

Makes early funding rounds open and accessible to all, not just VCs

Rewards supporters with privileged access and token upside 

Aligns incentives between protocols, projects and community

Drives long-term adoption for protocols 

Why q/acc?

Hundreds of millions of USD-equivalent flow out of web3 grant systems every year yet protocols cannot predictably produce the highly sought after chain commitment and native token hodlers. Web3 projects refrain from tokenizing because of the costs and complexities. Web3 communities receive no upside from their support and have a crowded space of unvetted projects upon which to speculate.

We're about to change all of that.

Key benefits of q/acc

Project Tokenization
Projects launch their ABC token with built-in liquidity and protection measures for the project and the community.
Community Stake
Supporters receive tokens in return for their support and the quadratic matched allocation is used to build secondary market liquidity.
Liquidity + Revenue
Secondary market liquidity grows with each q/acc round, and a passive revenue stream flows to the project from ABC tributes.
