**What is q/acc?**
------------------

Quadratic Acceleration (q/acc) combines the strengths of Quadratic Funding (QF) with those of Augmented Bonding Curves (ABC) to create a new mechanism for launching tokens with built-in liquidity, a passive revenue stream, and a clear path to community growth.

The q/acc program is a unique 10-week program that provides accepted projects with:

*   A **$50K grant** to tokenize your project via an Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC).
    
*   A season’s end q/acc round with a **$100K matching pool** to boost your token liquidity and participation on all future q/acc rounds.
    
*   The ability to offer your **community reward tokens** in exchange for their support.
    
*   Exclusive value-add packages from our **preferred partners**.
    
*   A clear path to graduating from q/acc with a **large (up to $1M) pool of funds** once you reach key indicators.
    

**Project Qualifications**
--------------------------

**Is your project a good candidate for the q/acc program?**

**Are you:**

*   A web3 founder with a pre-token project you’re building on Polygon?
    
*   Experienced team with a solid track record of experience?
    
*   Project with a clear roadmap, MVP, and runway for ~6 months or more?
    

**How does the q/acc program work?**
------------------------------------

The 10-week program is evenly split across two modules:

*   The first part is all about tokenizing your project and inviting key contributors to acquire your tokens and access to your project team early.
    
*   The second part is about inviting your whole community and the larger ecosystem to acquire your project’s tokens through QF-styled matching rounds. The community will receive tokens as a reward for their contributions. It is also about building secondary market liquidity in preparation for the eventual graduation out of the bonding curve.
