Preparation

1. Add Dora Vota network to Keplr wallet:

2. Wallet and Balance Requirements:

  • Ensure your Keplr wallet has sufficient ATOM on the Dora Vota network
  • Minimum contribution: 0.01 ATOM per project
  • Gas Fees: Contribution requires a small amount of DORA to cover Gas fees.

Step 1: IBC-Send ATOM to Dora Vota Chain

Before contributing, you'll need to transfer your ATOM from Cosmos Hub to Dora Vota:

  • Click ATOM -> Send in your wallet, and you'll see the “IBC Send” option.
  • Select “Dora Vota” as your destination chain.
  • Your Dora Vota wallet address should auto-fill (If not, enter it manually)
  • Enter your desired ATOM amount for contribution, then click “NEXT”.

Note: You can transfer ATOM back to Cosmos Hub at any time.

Step 2: Browse and Vote for Grantee Projects

  • Navigate to "Active BUIDLs" to explore the projects open for contributions.
  • Choose how to vote:
    • For a single project: Click "Vote Now"
    • For multiple projects: Add them to the "Voting Cart"
  • Enter your contribution amount for each project (Remember: minimum 0.01 ATOM per project)
  • Click “Submit Votes” to have the blockchain record your choices and save your contributions (in ATOM) for the grantee you wish to support.
  • Your votes should be updated on the page in a few minutes, depending on the network.

That's it! Let’s start contributing to your favorite grantees.

How Does Quadratic Funding Work with AEZ Community Contribution?

  • Contribute with $ATOM: Contributions are cast using $ATOM, which is directly provided as support to the chosen projects. The influence of each contribution is calculated based on the weighted amount in the algorithm: 1 ATOM is counted as 1 ATOM, 2 ATOM is counted as √ 2 ATOM, and n ATOM equals √n.
  • Calculation: As a community member adds more $ATOM to a project, their influence on fund distribution diminishes. The contribution cart will automatically handle these complex calculations.
  • Progressive Tax: PT ensures fair distribution, even to those with minimal or no ATOM contributions. It does this by minimizing the difference between the top and bottom projects on the leaderboard. The lowest-ranked project receives no less than 1/20 of the grants of the top project.

Potential Earnings for BUIDL Teams:

  1. Direct Contributions: $ATOM from contributors.
  2. Matching Prize: A share from the quadratic funding pool provided by Dora Factory Foundation and PGS validators. The prize pool in round 5 totals 8,000 ATOM + 31,111 USDC.

IBC-ATOM

  • The goal of AEZ Quadratic Funding is to make all major IBC tokens available as contribution credits. To ensure compatibility and flexibility, we use the Dora Vota network as middleware - all supported tokens can be IBC transferred to the Dora Vota network to be adapted and used as contribution credits during AEZ QF rounds. This system allows for the potential future inclusion of other IBC tokens.
  • The Grantees (projects people contribute to) will also receive the tokens on the Dora Vota network, and they can IBC transfer the tokens back to their native chains.
