Quadratic Acceleration (q/acc) combines the strengths of Quadratic Funding (QF) with those of Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) to create a new mechanism for launching tokens with built-in liquidity, a passive revenue stream and a clear path to community growth.
The Quadratic Accelerator is a collaborative entity under Giveth building the q/acc protocol based on the research of Commons Stack.
The q/acc is designed to:
<aside> 🔥 50K Grant
</aside>
You get a 50K grant to tokenize their project via an Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC).
<aside> 🔥 250K Matching Pool
</aside>
At the end of the season, you participate in a q/acc round with 250K matching pool used to build token liquidity.
<aside> 🔥 Community
</aside>
Your community receives tokens for their support of your project.
Our 7-week, fully remote program divided into two modules.

The q/acc round starts! Your community may support your project by providing signal for quadratic matching, and at the same time acquire tokens for their support.

Quadratic matching calculations are made and matching pool funds are allocated and used for your token’s liquidity pools. You join the q/acc founders group.

| Simplified tokenization | q/acc streamlines the complex process of tokenomics design, making it easier for teams to tokenize their projects with built-in revenue streams and liquidity. |
|---|---|
| Sustainable and regenerative funding | Leverage a unique combination of Quadratic Funding (QF) and Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) to secure continuous, regenerative funding. Projects receive ongoing revenue from ABC tributes and arbitrage bot profits, ensuring a steady flow of funds to fuel ongoing development and expansion. |
| Reduced grant dependency | By providing an alternative to traditional grants, q/acc helps projects avoid the endless cycle of grant farming, allowing them to focus on long-term sustainability and growth. |
| Community alignment | Foster a highly engaged community through early-access tokens and quadratic funding rounds, aligning the interests of the project with the trusted community and supporters. |
| Tokens | Receive vested tokens for their support, giving them a stake in the project's success. | | --- | --- | | Exclusive community access | Early support grants them privileged access to the project’s exclusive, token-gated community and chat room, gaining insights, project updates, and direct interaction with the project team. |
| Increased adoption | q/acc encourages the adoption of protocols by providing a clear and efficient path for projects to launch and grow within the ecosystem. |
|---|---|
| Mitigated sell pressure on protocol’s native token | By repurposing grant funds as collateral for new tokens, protocols can mitigate sell pressure on their native tokens, maintaining price stability and value lock (TVL). |
| Ecosystem growth | Promote the overall growth and health of the protocol’s ecosystem by supporting a diverse range of innovative projects and initiatives building on the chain. |
