Description

This program started with two unique governance experiments. A “domain allocation” governance experiment allowed the community to direct funds to four matching pools based on Questbook program domains. Then 4 quadratic funding rounds sourced grants to assist their domain allocators in sourcing grants.

Why the Program Was Funded

This program was designed by Plurality Labs to :

• Support Questbook program success based on them answering that the "reason they would not succeed if they didn't"
• Show how pluralist programs can be complimentary to each other.

Rounds & Milestones

Round 1 - Run the Domain Allocation Round and post results

Round 2 - Run 4 Quadratic Funding Rounds concurrently and post results

Decision Mechanism

The decison of what to fund is made using quadratic funding.

First, we hosted a round on Ethereum mainnet using Quadratic Funding for Meta-allocation, the decision of how to split 100k ARB between the 4 domain pools. Because these rounds were designed to support the questbook program, the 4 domains selected by Questbook were used. In the following 4 quadrative funding rounds, the eligibility criteria matched questbook's eligibility criteria. They were all run on Arbitrum One.

The program supports experiments to see if…

• Decentralized meta-allocation improves how the community decides to allocate funds between matching pools using quadratic funding.
• Allow-list restricted voting in quadratic funding is useful.
• Collaborative efforts between different programs have positive effects.

Expected Outcomes

• Support initiatives on Arbitrum.
• Find high-quality grants that might get additional funding from Questbook if the grant is successful.
