We also improved our QF infrastructure and sybil protection, integrating Passport’s model-based detection API and offering [a dual verification system](https://giveth.notion.site/Matching-Eligibility-for-Donations-400ac367ab254cdbb71aec5727b66c49?pvs=74) to streamline donor identity verification for the crypto experienced and crypto newbie alike, and adopting [Connection-Oriented Cluster Match QF] (https://forum.giveth.io/t/cluster-match-qf-announcement/1419) to improve democratic funds distribution.\n\nNow we’re building the [Quadratic Accelerator](https://x.com/Giveth/status/1792903280663621894), growing our platform to attract more impact projects & new donors, and setting our sights on [DAOifying nonprofits](https://medium.com/giveth/evolving-nonprofits-into-regen-economies-f8282f97f8d3).\n\n[Giveth.io](https://giveth.io/) is an open source, radically transparent, user-friendly donation platform that allows anyone to open crypto funding portals by creating projects for positive impact, with zero added fees and no intermediaries. Donors are also rewarded for giving to a wide range of projects that cover the field of for-good ventures such as feeding the homeless, funding community currency projects, and promoting planetary well-being. \n\nCurrently Giveth is live on Ethereum Mainnet, Gnosis Chain, Polygon PoS, OP Mainnet, Base, Polygon zkEVM, Celo, Ethereum Classic, Solana, and Arbitrum.\n\n## How it works\n\nGiveth goes beyond “just donations” with the following features:\n\n* GIVbacks - Donors who give to verified public goods projects get rewarded with GIV. This flips the script on tax-deductible donation, creating a decentralized and borderless way of incentivizing donations.\n* GIVpower - Donors can lock their GIV tokens for GIVpower and use them to boost/curate projects on the platform. Projects with more GIVpower are ranked higher, and in turn, their donors are rewarded with more GIVbacks, similar to the veToken model. Top-boosted projects also appear higher on Giveth!\n* Quadratic Funding - The democratic matching program popularized by Gitcoin is also available on Giveth! Projects and donors enjoy multi-chain donation rounds with an easy and streamlined user experience.\n\n## Who uses it\n\n![Giveth stats](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983744449869934652/1270444933601300481/image.png?ex=66b3b98b&is=66b2680b&hm=d813f3adbe87660355819311fd15906e45b48fcf3ed538c1f0503b410b138275&)\n\nCurrently, over 3,600 projects have raised donations from over 17,200 donor addresses on Giveth.\n\nGiveth is a permissionless platform that allows anyone to create a project and start raising funds, and anyone with a wallet can get started donating.\n\nProjects who want to get to the next level can apply to be “Verified” as a public goods creator, providing information about their impact history and reputation at stake.\n\n## Major updates\n\nAs we blaze into Q3 of 2024, we are delighted to announce some significant updates and future plans.\n\n### Major milestones achieved last quarter\n\n- Quadratic Funding: Ran 3 successful quadratic funding rounds start-to-finish, raising ±$199k for projects on Giveth.\n- QF Improvements: Improved our quadratic funding round UX with a dual identity verification system and COCM to make things easy to crypto experienced, and crypto newbies alike, and to more democratically distribute matching funds.\n- Project Attestations: Built and launched a decentralized attestations program, [Devouch](https://devouch.xyz/).\n- GIVeconomy Analytics Dashboard: Built & launched our [GIV dune dashboard](https://dune.com/giveconomy/giveconomy), showing stats related to GIV holders, liquidity, GIVpower staking, and more.\n- OP Migration: Migrated out GIVbacks program to distribute most rewards on OP Mainnet, and launched a [Gnosis < > OP Mainnet bridge](https://bridge.connext.network/GIVETH-from-gnosis-to-optimism) for GIV.\n- Base & Polygon zkEVM integration: Added Base & Polygon zkEVM as supported networks for donations on Giveth.\n\n\n![Image of the ENS Builders QF Round banner](https://forum.giveth.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a6e7d0a684a94ad0fa1199e94d0ac84cf73d4f37.jpeg)\n\n![Image of the Galactic Giving QF Round banner](https://forum.giveth.io/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2ce42e582ae9e57e7d1e13e8e376a8118dc46c70.jpeg)\n\n![Image of the GIV-EARTH QF Round banner](https://forum.giveth.io/uploads/default/original/2X/d/ddd84d10a2e5cadfb36fda3a3020d7c6ea8b1fd5.jpeg)\n\n\n## Upcoming Goals\n\nThe following is a list of new products, partnerships, and features that we have already begun building or are researching. Our ability to execute on these goals is dependent on fundraising and the success of our economy, so if you want to support the Future of Giving, please add us to your cart and donate!\n\n### In Progress\n\nIn Q3, we hope to continue running QF rounds on Giveth, creating a bigger impact for the public goods projects raising funds on our platform. In addition, we are actively working on the following improvements to our dApp and making steady progress:\n\nProject Attestations: We are adapting Devouch and scoping out its use within Giveth to decentralize our project verification system.\nq/acc: Combining quadratic funding with augmented bonding curves, in a new [accelerator program](https://x.com/Giveth/status/1792903280663621894) that helps projects launch regenerative microeconomies.\nStellar Integration: Adding support for donations made to projects on Stellar, supporting projects & donors from this new ecosystem.\nQF Estimated Matching: Improving our QF estimating matching calculations to make use of the COCM algorithm.\nAmbassador Program Wave 3: focused on onboarding nonprofits and social impact organizations to the platform, as well as potential donors, & help to grow the community organically. \n\n\n### In the Pipeline & Under Research\n\n- GIVbacks V2: With a growing need to evolve our GIVbacks program, we are scoping out and developing a “raffle” style approach to distributing donor rewards.\n- Scale our Quadratic Funding team & processes to enable consecutive rounds and move towards scaling QF to run multiple QF rounds simultaneously.\n- Integrate other L1s and L2s to allow projects more options for fundraising.\n- Scope out a “cart” checkout feature to enable bulk transaction donating on Giveth.\n\n-----\n\nGiveth is a completely free donation platform that charges no fees from donors or projects to use our platform. Our sources of funding are predominantly public goods funding mechanisms like Gitcoin QF rounds, direct donations & grants. Please help sustain our community by adding us to your cart & donating!\n\n### Learn More\n- Check out our [site](giveth.io) \n- Join our [Discord](https://discord.giveth.io/)\n- Explore our [Newsletter](https://news.giveth.io/)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Giveth", "projectTwitter": "giveth"}, "recipient": "0x634977e11C823a436e587C1a1Eca959588C64287"}}
