Archway is shaking things up with its very first quadratic funding round. The inspiration behind this comes from the desire to address funding challenges faced by dapps and initiatives that provide widespread benefits to the community. Quadratic funding rounds democratize the funding process, ensuring that even smaller contributors have a meaningful impact. Archway will allow for dapp teams to receive more equitable funding through community voting. Archway's quadratic funding round is all about fairness, inclusivity, and showing some well-deserved appreciation to the builders who are shaping Archway's future.

For this round, 13 dapp teams will be participating. These dapp teams are all building valuable projects within the Archway ecosystem.

Archway Quadratic Funding Terms

Participation in the Quadratic Funding Contest (the “Contest”) constitutes Participant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Rules which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent upon being compliant with these Rules and fulfilling all other requirements set forth herein or communicated by Archway from time to time.

Sponsor

The Contest is sponsored by Archway Services Ltd. (“Sponsor”), located at Floor 4, Banco Popular Building, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, VG1110.

Scope of the Contest

Sponsor has granted DoraHacks 300,000 ARCH Tokens to form a prize pool (the “Prize”) for community-driven project funding.
The Archway community will be able to vote for their favorite team(s) (the “Winners”) by using ARCH tokens to cast their votes for their favorite projects. The ARCH token spent by voters will be used to form the Prize pool and will be directly distributed to the project chosen by the voter. For more information on voting please refer to the Voting Guidelines.

Winner Notification

Winners will be notified by email. Each winner will be required to complete, electronically sign and submit the documentation required by Sponsor in order to claim his/her Prize. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the documentation within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the Prize. Winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate Winner determined by submission receiving the next highest vote count from the community.
