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.
