Cluster Match QF

Giveth uses a new quadratic funding mechanism called Connection-Oriented Cluster Match. In short, this version of QF puts donors into clusters based on their donation behavior to better protect against Sybil attacks while more effectively rewarding cooperation across social differences.

To read about cluster match QF in more detail, check out our forum post.

Payout

Once the round is finished and the Sybil analysis is complete, the final matching funds will be distributed from our donation.eth multisig account and sent to the projects’ recipient addresses on Celo. The actual matching amount sent to each project post-round will be shown on the projects Donations tab, under the corresponding round filter.
