# $350k ETH Staking QF Round By [HT854](https://paragraph.com/@20258888) · 2022-04-20 --- ![$350k ETH Staking QF Round](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/324d5f4e1db40d38534dbf711c785715ac2b7b036e5593f9e46ce59b2357743d.png) $350k ETH Staking QF Round **TL;DR** - Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, [clr.fund](https://clr.fund/) and [ETHStaker](https://ethstaker.cc/) have teamed up to run a Quadratic Funding (QF) round with a 350,000 DAI matching pool dedicated to funding open source public goods for the Ethereum staking ecosystem. Recipient applications are [open now](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/#/join), so if you’d like to join the round, head over to [qf.ethstaker.cc](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/) to register. If you know a project that should receive support, tell them to join! * * * We are excited to announce that, with the support of the [Ethereum Foundation](https://ethereum.org/en/foundation/), we have teamed up with [ETHStaker](https://ethstaker.cc/) to run a Quadratic Funding round with a 350,000 DAI matching pool, dedicated to funding open source public goods for the Ethereum staking ecosystem. 我们很兴奋地宣布，在以太空基金会的支持下，我们已经与 ETHStaker 合作运行一个二次资金轮，其中包括35万个 DAI 匹配资金池，致力于为以太空生态系统的开源公共产品提供资金。 We are excited to announce that, with the support of the Space Foundation, we have partnered with ETHStaker to run a second round of funding, including 350,000 DAI matching pools, nASA is committed to funding open source public goods for the space ecosystem. This round marks a huge milestone for clr.fund, being by far the largest initial matching pool for a Quadratic Funding round run using clr.fund protocol, along with being a critical supporting step toward one of Ethereum’s largest milestones to date; [the merge](https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/). This will also be our first round to happen on L2 - the Staking Round will run on Arbitrum with contributions opening on May 6th. 这一轮标志着 clr.fund 的一个巨大里程碑，它是迄今为止使用 clr.fund 协议进行的二次基金(Quadratic Funding)回合最大的初始匹配池，同时也是伊斯利恩迄今为止最大的里程碑之一——合并——的关键支持步骤。这也将是我们在 l 2进行的第一轮谈判——5月6日开始的注资回合将在 Arbitrum 进行。 With this round, we hope to give some of the public goods infrastructure for the Ethereum staking ecosystem the additional and critical support they need as we all collectively push toward the merge and beyond. 通过这一轮，我们希望为以太网生态系统提供一些公共物品基础设施，他们需要额外的关键支持，因为我们都集体推动合并和超越。 通过这一轮，我们希望为以太网生态系统提供一些公共物品基础设施，他们需要额外的关键支持，因为我们都集体推动合并和超越。 Through this round, we hope to provide some public goods infrastructure for the Ethernet ecosystem that needs additional critical support as we collectively push for consolidation and beyond.

In short, QF allocates a pool of matching funds to a group of eligible recipients using a novel version of Quadratic Voting (QV) to decide the allocation, wherein individuals contribute funds directly to projects they value.This fundraiser rewards projects with the most unique demand, not just those with the wealthiest backers. QF is the mathematically optimal way to allocate funds to public goods and finds a happy medium between 1-dollar-1-vote and 1-person-1-vote, where contributors are able to express the strength of their preference – where a passionate minority can overcome a dispassionate majority – but a passionate majority should always have the strongest influence. Learn more about Quadratic Funding at [qf.ethstaker.cc/#/about/quadratic-funding](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/). Why this round? --------------- One of the ways the Ethereum Foundation has historically supported important parts of the ecosystem, like the staking community, is through [rounds of grants.](https://blog.ethereum.org/2021/02/09/esp-staking-community-grantee-announcement/) The Staking Round we announce today represents an experiment in sharing decision-making over ecosystem support within the Ethereum community, as well as the public goods we all rely on. Through the course of this round we do expect surprises (this will be the largest clr.fund round to date, after all) but we are also excited and proud to participate. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3c35ba7cc634ce2bca9e442ad8eab5381922e6199515ec570af5ded8a5d8b288.png) How can I get involved? \*\*If you run an open source public good staking project \*\*- whether that’s a technical tool, documentation or guide resources, or you work hard to build a community that supports staking, you can join to receive funding! These are the criteria your project must meet to join the round: * **Related to Ethereum staking or the consensus layer.** Your project must support staking on Ethereum. * **Free and open source.** Your project must be free to use and any code associated with your project should be available to anyone under an open source license. * **Project ownership.** The project you submit must be yours or you must have permission from the project owner. * **Satisfy KYC.** Projects eligible to join the round will need to provide basic KYC information - ID and proof of address for individuals, plus corporate documents for corporations - to participate in the round * **No scams.** Your project must not put anyone’s funds or personal information at risk. Due to technical constraints, there will be a limit of 124 projects that can join the round, and it’s first-come first-served! So don’t wait to get involved. You can find more information on how to join the round or to get started at [https://qf.ethstaker.cc/#/join](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/#/join). **If you use open source public goods for staking or you want a say in how funds are distributed** - you should contribute to those projects! The more individuals who donate to a project, the larger the share of the matching pool they can claim at the end of the round! So give generously, and get your friends involved. You’ll need to make your contribution in DAI, and the round will take place on Arbitrum. You can find out how to participate as a contributor here: [https://qf.ethstaker.cc/#/about/how-it-works/contributors](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/#/about/how-it-works/contributors) You’ll also need to be verified as an individual (and not a bot!) by BrightID. You can get started through the round at [qf.ethstaker.cc/#/verify](https://qf.ethstaker.cc/). What dates should I know about? * The round is open for projects to join now! * May 16th is the last day to register projects for the round. * 22nd April – Our amazing partners at EthStaker will be hosting a call to kickoff this round – mark your calendars! * May 6th through May 24th – Projects will be able to receive contributions. We are incredibly excited to support the staking ecosystem and Ethereum’s bright future. The clr.fund team will see you there.
