q/acc- Quadratic Accelerator

average score over 1 application evaluations
Tokenization protocol combines Quadratic Funding and Augmented Bonding Curves to launch tokens with built-in liquidity and revenue, making funding accessible and rewarding supporters. Ideal for web3 projects.

The Quadratic Accelerator is pioneering a novel tokenization protocol that combines the strengths of Quadratic Funding (QF) with those of Augmented Bonding Curves (ABCs).

Why q/acc?

Hundreds of millions of USD-equivalent flow out of web3 grant systems every year yet protocols cannot predictably produce the highly sought after chain commitment and native token hodlers. Web3 projects refrain from tokenizing because of the costs and complexities. Web3 communities receive no upside from their support and have a crowded space of unvetted projects upon which to speculate.

We're about to change all of that.

Quadratic Acceleration (q/acc) combines the strengths of Quadratic Funding (QF) with those of Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) in order to create a new mechanism for launching tokens with built-in liquidity, a passive revenue stream and a clear path to community growth.

Makes early funding rounds open and accessible to all, not just VCs. Rewards supporters with privileged access and token upside. Aligns incentives between protocols, projects and community. Drives long-term adoption for protocols.

Key benefits of q/acc

Project Tokenization Projects launch their ABC token with built-in liquidity and protection measures for the project and the community.

Community Stake Supporters receive tokens in return for their support and the quadratic matched allocation is used to build secondary market liquidity.

Liquidity + Revenue Secondary market liquidity grows with each q/acc round, and a passive revenue stream flows to the project from ABC tributes.

How does q/acc work in practice?

Each season accepts up to 10 projects into our 10-week program. During that time projects will launch their ABC tokens, invite KOL, contributors and others to have priority access to the team and token, and join their first q/acc round where those early supporters may acquire tokens, and the quadratic matching pool funds will build secondary market liquidity for projects.

After completing a season, projects may participate in all future q/acc rounds.
