SQF’s continuous structure enables open-ended quadratic matching “rounds.” This structure can relieve pressure to consolidate grantee/donor activity into grueling two-week sprints (we’ve all been there), support high-conviction donor-grantee relationships (think supercharged Patreon), and provide grantees with immediate, more predictable capital so they can focus on impact. \n\nThe Geo Web, Superfluid, and Gitcoin Allo implemented SQF as a proof-of-concept Allo V2 Strategy: https://github.com/allo-protocol/allo-v2/tree/main/contracts/strategies/_poc/sqf-superfluid. Its first use case is to allocate the Geo Web’s partial common ownership land market funds (and other grant funds) at https://geoweb.land/governance. The pilot is live on Optimism and runs from February 21 to April 21, 2024.\n\nWe believe that SQF is a prime example of an innovative, community-initiated project that can help drive Gitcoin’s network effects and public good impact. The strategy, UI, and supporting tooling are open-source and intended to mature into broad use! SQF uses onchain Passports that generate direct revenue for Gitcoin (until that group spins off?).\n\n**My Contributions**\n- I wrote the [SQF product requirements document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F_TNdXmBgNjPf6cDdumB_Rvu6dtzq0o34nqfTgJDBMU/edit#heading=h.ocll8k11cabk) to initiate the project and managed the specs/requirements to completion.\n- I created the [initial UI designs in Figma](https://www.figma.com/file/EDhPLz4mS4lIRiFRe0aYxV/SQF?type=design&node-id=0-1&mode=design&t=kxlIyyHNtfRtMQ7a-0).\n- I was the primary user tester and [documentation writer](https://docs.geoweb.network/concepts/streaming-quadratic-funding).\n- I was the project hype man writing the [launch blog post](https://mirror.xyz/geoweb.eth/54RLkPhmWIcWP4B8QFlYbVY_M-fxaNqjqZF-5pe3WdI), [Twitter thread](https://x.com/thegeoweb/status/1760320354394771577?s=20), and multiple grant proposals to increase the matching pool funds([1 big success!](https://publicnouns.wtf/vote/36)). \n- I gave a [talk about SQF at ETHDenver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym7qaSK1mKE) and another at [GreenPill Network side event](https://partiful.com/e/CcjcwgSLF8aTkx6bJmQG).\n- I’ve continued to demo SQF and shared how Allo v2 can be used in new allocation strategies on community calls like RadicalxChange, OP Community Demo Day, and RegenLearnings. \n\n**Project Impact**\n- We went from launching a far-out idea one week to being highlighted as an [allocation strategy for the Gitcoin 2.0 Vision](https://x.com/gitcoin/status/1763727147536208364?s=20) in the very next one.\n- Our [launch Tweet thread](https://x.com/thegeoweb/status/1760320354394771577?s=20) has been viewed 29k+ times and retweeted 49 times. Our [Twitter space](https://x.com/thegeoweb/status/1760363637313540582?s=20) has been listened to 324 times and counting.\n- As of writing, there are 42 direct donation streams and 4 third-party streams to the matching pool in the [pilot round](https://geoweb.land/governance). You should go open a stream right now too :) \n- We’re supporting Allo v2 use and experimentation. The SQF pilot is the first strategy/pool to be deployed to Allo v2 on Optimism.\n- We’ve received [extremely strong validation](https://x.com/lucianodeangeIo/status/1763366987500040500?s=20) and [support for the project](https://x.com/lucianodeangeIo/status/1763366987500040500?s=20). It’s too early for stats on forks, other SQF rounds, etc, but they’re coming!", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "Geo-Web-Project", "projectTwitter": "gravenprest"}
