GG24 OSS Quadratic Funding Results

🌱 Gitcoin Grants
1

As you may recall, Giveth and Gitcoin partnered for GG24, with Giveth acting as the QF provider for the Developer Tooling & Infrastructure and Interop Standards, Infra & Analytics domains.

We are pleased to announce that the results are in:

Here you can review the results for both rounds!

We will leave five days (Nov 5-10) for review and feedback and then, barring any major issues, the Giveth team will proceed with payouts during the following week.

Round Protection

Both rounds followed the same sybil protection strategy:

  • Donors needed to verify QF eligibility by either having a Passport Model Score above 50, or a Passport stamps over 15
  • Only donations over 1 USD equivalent were eligible to be matched
  • QF matching results were calculated using COCM
  • We performed manual data analysis to identify donors/sybils that made it past the eligibility checks but closed-source “silencing” had no practical influence on the results post-COCM, so the results are pure COCM.

Happy Thursday @karmaticacid

I’m Alex, cofounder of Recon, we’ve participated in this round with our extension.

First of all thank you for the opportunity to participate, as well as the prompt verification that our project received.

We’ve spent a considerable amount of time promoting the fundraise, as it allows us to fund new contributions from the community. We plan on putting all the funds in a merit systems account as to transparently distribute them in exchange for meaningful contributions to our code.

(I’d share the link to our transparency report here but I’m not allowed by the site)

Given that we are ranked 5th overall in amounts of donations and 13th in terms of unique individuals it comes as a surprise that we are 28th in terms of absolute matched funds as well as 38th (out of 48) in terms of match per unique donor.

I’ve forked the spreadsheet and added 2 more columns to the table, called Implied Boost and Implied Boost per User which are computed by dividing the match by the donations, and that per unique donator.
We are 5th worst in the Implied Boost (43rd) and and 7th worst for the implied boost per user.

(I’d share the link to the spreadsheet but I’m not allowed to by the site)

I would like to ask for additional information pertaining the multipliers, as it seem that we have received a very small multiplier in spite of being amongst the most generous as well as reasonably numerous.

It might be COCM, but I’ll just wait for Giveth to reply.

Hey @Entreprenerd - thanks for your question, and I understand your frustration at the matching results given that you worked hard to fundraise! I can explain here why the matching is comparatively low despite the high amount raised.

In order to protect the round results and ensure a fair matching distribution, we used the following strategy:

Of the total donations your project received, only 9 of them (totaling about $150) were eligible to be matched. And of those 9 donations, 4 of them were from donors who only donated to Recon. With COCM, single-issue votes have a significantly dampened impact on the results.

So overall, the impact of those donations on the matching was low. You can explore more about how COCM works here.

I hope that helps clear things up.
