Quadratic Accelerator (Q/ACC) functions as a capital allocation mechanism by combining Quadratic Funding (QF) and Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC).
Q/ACC was developed in 2024 to address challenges in securing chain commitment and fair token distribution. The combination of QF and ABC creates token launches with built-in liquidity, passive revenue streams, and default token utility.
Web3 projects see fair, sustainable token launches without VC dependence. This strategy is ideal for teams wanting to avoid high tokenization costs, focus on development, and prioritize transparent, community-focused growth with equitable token distribution.
The Q/ACC funding strategy uses Augmented Bonding Curves to create initial liquidity and stabilize token prices from the start. It then leverages Quadratic Funding rounds to emphasize broad participation rather than concentrating funds from a few large investors.
The Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC) provides initial liquidity by locking funds into a curve that sets token prices based on supply, ensuring price stability in the early stages. This is followed by QF rounds, where community donations are matched, prioritizing broad participation over total funds raised. This ensures that resources are broadly distributed to projects with strong community backing.
In addition to facilitating fair token distribution, the Q/ACC model generates passive revenue streams through continuous market interactions. It aligns the interests of the project and its supporters, encouraging long-term commitment and sustainable growth. This mechanism is ideal for web3 projects focused on building equitable, community-driven growth with a sustainable financial foundation.
Unlike other funding mechanisms, Q/ACC integrates Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC), creating immediate liquidity for tokens while establishing a price floor and ensuring stability from the start of the project.
By leveraging Quadratic Funding (QF), Q/ACC emphasizes broad-based community participation. This ensures that projects with more individual backers receive greater support, promoting fairness over capital concentration.
Q/ACC aligns the incentives of the project team and the community, encouraging ongoing engagement and support, which contrasts with mechanisms focusing on short-term gains.
