Fair Distribution and Strong Community Support Propel Sei Ecosystem Forward

The use of an updated version of Quadratic Funding known as Connection-Oriented Cluster Matching (COCM) ensured a fair and Sybil-resistant distribution of cash. Notably, 2,707 unique voters supported 63 projects from various categories.

This kickoff round signals the start of a $10 million program focused on boosting the Sei ecosystem. The crowd raised a total of $38,371.68, or 15.35% of the matching pool, with the same number of individual voters donating.
