🚀Project Tips for Success
How projects in a quadratic funding round can lead to success
Quadratic funding is a great opportunity to get extra funding for your project through the matching pool, but your community’s donations determine how much of the pool you get, with more unique donors getting you a bigger share of the matching pool. That means you NEED to onboard people to donate to your project.
Tips to having a successful round
Consistently post and cross-collaborate
Spend time onboarding your community to donate and verifying their wallet
Be very clear on why funding you will be worth it and your progress up to date

A clear project description.
