Our team has a rich history of launching impactful products in the Web3 space. Giveth was born out of TheDAO in 2016, the largest crowdfunding campaign of its time that raised 14% of all ETH in existence and led to an Ethereum hard fork. Since then, Giveth has evolved into a zero-fee 24/7 crypto donation platform that offers innovative funding mechanisms like the our GIVbacks donor rewards program, GIVpower decentralized project curation, recurring/streaming donations, and Quadratic Funding rounds that use Gitcoin Passport, COCM, Trustalabs and more. 

Giveth’s growth led to the launch of the Giveth Galaxy which includes projects as [Bright ID](https://www.brightid.org/), [iden3](https://iden3.io/), [Commons Stack](https://commonsstack.org/), [Token Engineering Commons](https://tecommons.org/), [Praise](https://givepraise.xyz), [Pairwise](https://pairwise.vote)
, [General Magic](https://www.generalmagic.io/), [DappNode](https://www.dappnode.io/), [White Hat Group](https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvp5b3/how-ethereum-coders-hacked-back-to-rescue-dollar208-million-in-ethereum), and [xDai - now Gnosis Chain](https://www.gnosischain.com/). 

As part of our goal of supporting non-profits in becoming their own regen economies, we’re happy to announce the launch of the Quadratic Accelarator.

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

The Quadratic Accelerator is a collaborative entity under Giveth building the q/acc protocol based on the research of Commons Stack.
