Quadratic Accelerator is a new kind of web3 accelerator enabling community-first, fair launches for web3 projects. The Accelerator uses the q/acc protocol, which combines the power of Quadratic Funding (QF) with the advantages of Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) to bootstrap and scale token economies with community at their center. This protocol drives long-term value and alignment across protocols, projects, and communities. In addition to a clear tokenization strategy, projects benefit from grants that scale their token economies.

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

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

The q/acc is designed to:

  • 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
