Why Quadratic Staking?
Linear Model: Influence = Stake Amount
Higher stakes always win, regardless of community support
Higher stakes always win, regardless of community support
Quadratic Model: Influence = √(Stake Amount)
Diminishing returns for large stakes, empowering community voices

The Mathematics Behind Fair Curation
Linear Staking
Influence = Stake Amount
- • Direct 1:1 relationship
- • Wealth determines influence
- • Easy to manipulate with money
- • Favors large holders
Quadratic Staking
Influence = √(Stake Amount)
- • Diminishing returns on stake size
- • Community voices amplified
- • Expensive to manipulate alone
- • Rewards broad participation
