Voting Mechanism

Voter Support: Chat with us in Telegram if you have any voting-related questions! Link: https://t.me/votersupport

https://vitalik.ca/general/2019/12/07/quadratic.html

We are inspired by Vitalik Buterin's work "Quadratic Payments" and GitCoin's practice to implement this mechanism so that we can provide quadratic funding tools to the DoraHacks global hackathon community.

There are two funding sources -- the community donation and the sponsor's prize pool.

For individual community contributors: you can donate to any project(s) you like with your wallet. By clicking "Vote" following that project, you will be able to enter votes and the smart contract will return the cost (or the amount of donation) for the votes. Your votes will eventually determine how the sponsor pool gets distributed.

Before voting, make sure your wallet is connected to ETH Mainnet and you have USDC. The first vote will cost 1 USDC.
