What is QF (Quadratic Funding)
Quadratic Voting is a voting scheme introduced and often discussed in the Radical Markets community. It is often considered an innovative improvement of the traditional 1-person-1-vote model. With a quadratic voting algorithm, the cost of each vote to a single project from a single contributor will increase, this encourages community contributors to vote to more projects.
Individual community contributors can vote for their preferred projects to push them ahead in the funding round. Votes are directly donated to the respective projects after the round.

About Moonriver
Moonriver is a parachain on Kusama that provides a seamless environment for teams that are most familiar with the Ethereum technology stack. Like its sister network, Moonbeam, the Moonriver smart contract platform capabilities feature unmatched Ethereum compatibility that goes beyond basic EVM support, simplifying the process to build an application on Kusama.
By mirroring Ethereum’s Web3 RPC, accounts, keys, subscriptions, logs, and more, Moonriver makes it easy to deploy your solidity smart contracts with no changes required. Ethereum projects can simply replicate their DApp and deploy it to Moonbeam using Hardhat, Truffle, Remix, and other popular deployment tools.
