Stefano De Berardinis - Streaming Quadratic Funding Frontend Lead
I led the development of the Streaming Quadratic Funding (SQF) pilot UI and deployment process.

**What is SQF?**
SQF is a new implementation of quadratic funding that is *funded* and *distributed* in real-time. SQF’s continuous structure enables open-ended quadratic matching “rounds.” This structure can relieve pressure to consolidate grantee/donor activity into grueling two-week sprints (we’ve all been there), support high-conviction donor-grantee relationships (think supercharged Patreon), and provide grantees with immediate, more predictable capital so they can focus on impact. 

The Geo Web, Superfluid, and Gitcoin Allo implemented SQF as a proof-of-concept Allo v2 Strategy: https://github.com/allo-protocol/allo-v2/tree/main/contracts/strategies/_poc/sqf-superfluid. Its first use case is to allocate the Geo Web’s partial common ownership land market funds (and other grant funds) at https://geoweb.land/governance. The pilot is live on Optimism and runs from February 21 to April 21, 2024.

We believe that SQF is a prime example of an innovative, community-initiated project that can help drive Gitcoin’s network effects and public good impact. The strategy, UI, and supporting tooling are open-source and intended to mature into broad use! SQF uses onchain Passports that generate direct revenue for Gitcoin (until that group spins off?).

**My Contributions**
- I developed the open-source Streaming Quadratic Funding pilot UI at https://geoweb.land/governance
- Main PR: https://github.com/Geo-Web-Project/cadastre/pull/471 & many more to https://github.com/Geo-Web-Project/cadastre.
- My UI work included creating the animated Sankey diagram, dynamic $/speed scaling, contract integrations, mobile responsiveness, checkout flow iteration, Gitcoin Passport integration, extensive testing, and more.
- I wrote the [multi-sig compatible deployment scripts for the Allo strategy & round admin operations](https://github.com/Geo-Web-Project/sqf-deployment-scripts) and led the technical process.
- I debugged and provided the fix for a bug within the Allo v2 SQF strategy contracts: https://github.com/allo-protocol/allo-v2/pull/469 
- I added privacy-preserving analytics to the SQF UI to aid continuous product/UX improvement. 

**Project Impact**
- We went from launching a far-out idea one week to being highlighted as an [allocation strategy for the Gitcoin 2.0 Vision](https://x.com/gitcoin/status/1763727147536208364?s=20) in the very next one.
- Our [launch Tweet thread](https://x.com/thegeoweb/status/1760320354394771577?s=20) has been viewed 29k+ times and retweeted 49 times. Our [Twitter space](https://x.com/thegeoweb/status/1760363637313540582?s=20) has been listened to 324 times and counting.
- As of writing, there are 42 direct donation streams and 4 third-party streams to the matching pool in the [pilot round](https://geoweb.land/governance). You should go open a stream right now too :) 
- We’re supporting Allo v2 use and experimentation. The SQF pilot is the first strategy/pool to be deployed to Allo v2 on Optimism.
- We’ve received [extremely strong validation](https://x.com/lucianodeangeIo/status/1763366987500040500?s=20) and [support for the project](https://x.com/lucianodeangeIo/status/1763366987500040500?s=20). It’s too early for stats on forks, other SQF rounds, etc, but they’re coming!
