summary

Quadratic funding uses square-root aggregation of individual donations (sum the roots, square the sum) to weight matching grants toward projects with the widest backer base; Gitcoin runs QF rounds and this campaign targets 12 nonprofits with a $100,000 matching pool. Implementation discusses cryptographic anti-collusion tools and practical Sybil resistance via identity layers, and relies on Ethereum scaling primitives (Eth2 phases and optimistic rollups demoing ~1000 TPS) to actually handle transactions.
