quadratic funding is dope
just 0.1 SOL can match $250 for a project that needs your help
if you can ape presales, you can ape useful tools being built by cool people
*(which in turn will help your bags so you can ape more presales)
**(or I will erase your balances)
Public Goods Need Your Support.
Open Source Software is the backbone of the Internet and Crypto. Builders and Researchers burn out while corporations profit off their free Legos.
It's time to change that on Solana.
3/ The Solana community successfully contributed around $100k. A big thank you to everyone for contributing in the grants round.
Top contributors in the grant round:
🎉 Woohoo!!
Your tiny contributions just got supercharged! You now have the power to distribute $20,000 with your votes for projects participating in the grants round. Let’s support amazing developers and projects together! 🗳️💪

But Squads is more than just a simple multisig; it’s a powerful platform for enterprises to manage their operations on Solana.
Thanks for sharing
The amount that is matched will be variable for every project and every user.
- It depends on your trust score
- It depends on how much unique contributors the project has

Centralized grant allocation that favors individuals with strong connections can negatively impact an ecosystem's growth. A more inclusive approach would be beneficial for overall development.
This is how more teams can come together and help to grow the ecosystem by donating to the matching pool and contributing towards people building open source.
We've a long way to go from here...just getting started!

Given the energy of the Solana builders and solutions like

that facilitate funding for early projects, it's clear that this is just the beginning of the new era of Solana DeFi.

Pat your back and go touch some grass, you’ve successfully submitted your project.
For any queries DM us on twitter or discord and we’d be happy to help!
Evaluating grant impact is tough. Empowering communities to allocate & measure impact could help. For new projects, it's hard to judge potential impact without direct user input.
