☑️ Application #30 SandboxDAO × Giveth - Quadratic Funding Round for Supporting Community-Led Public Goods

[yegor]

Hey @Lanzer,

@Lanzer

1. Opening of projects application process, curation, verification, onboarding of projects

• Deliverable ??

These steps were all completed before the round opened (the round wouldn’t have been able to launch without them).

All 45 verified Causes visible on the round page went through the standard Giveth verification and curation pipeline - applications via Typeform → internal review and curation + sponsor nominations as well (Help Us Choose SandboxDAO’s Causes for the Giveth QF Round 💜).
I can provide the application spreadsheet to you (I won’t make it public as it contains lots of personal data).

@Lanzer

2. Launch QF round on Giveth platform (with round page, matching logic, and verified projects)

• Deliverable ??

This deliverable was completed - the round page was live on Empower Change: Support Impactful Projects with Crypto with all 45 Causes, matching logic integrated, and live donation tracking. (now available in archive here: https://giveth.io/qf-archive/causesqfround)
Again, the round couldn’t have run without this step being complete.

3. Feature Sandbox DAO in landing page, announcements, threads, blogposts, host Twitter spaces featuring Sandbox DAO members and projects participating in the round

• Deliverable ?

Delivered. Sandbox was featured in the landing banner, round announcement, and posts on X + Warpcast, mentioned and (attended by @theKuntaMC ) in the Twitter Space with Public Nouns and ShapeShift.
Happy to re-share the links in if that helps verification.

Here are some I had on my hand:

As round finished- landing page featuring next round, but it was same the qf page like you can see in archive: https://giveth.io/qf-archive/causesqfround

4. Roll out social campaign, and provide live round support.

• Deliverable ??

Links you mentioned are correct - those posts covered the round launch, mid-round reminder, donor call-to-action, and results announcement.
We also handled real-time donor support via Discord and email during the round (I’m not sure how to verify that? but the round finished and there are no drawbacks or feedback issues form the community- can be seen in discussions in the forum post Causes QF Round Results & Wrap‑up (September 10 – October 2, 2025) - #6 by yegor - Quadratic Funding - Giveth Forum: Join the conversation to shape the Future of Giving)

MILESTONE 3

@Lanzer

1. Conduct sybil analysis (using COCM mechanism, on-chain tools like Arkham, Zapper, etc)

• Deliverable not accepted
• Per Post #44: Yegor provided a link to Giveth blog post on their website with an explanation of how Human Passport and COCM was used. It does not include an analysis.
  • Yegor, do you have any analysis or PDFs or screenshots you can share that show this analysis being made?

We don’t publish the raw analysis file publicly because it contains donor-level data, but we did run it thought COCM algo together with consideration of the Human Passport scoring to exclude potential Sybils (and basically without doing all these, we won’t arrive to any type of results - Causes QF Round - Final Matching Results (EXTERNAL) - Google Sheets )

In short- after reviewing donations data, querying all the donations and syncing Passport scores, the raw donations data is being run though this algorithm- GitHub - Giveth/COCM_QF_Algorithm: QF mechanism experiments for Giveth

I can’t really show how the COCM was done as this is inside the algorithm.

Please let me know if you have clarifications questions on this, I can

@Lanzer

3. Publish final donation and matching results, analytics, forum post and Snapshot ratification vote

• Deliverable not accepted
• Per Post #44: Yegor provided a Google sheet with matching results. Lanzer is conducting follow-up with Yegor via post #46

final donations and results: Causes QF Round - Final Matching Results (EXTERNAL) - Google Sheets

Forum post: Causes QF Round Results & Wrap‑up (September 10 – October 2, 2025) - #6 by yegor - Quadratic Funding - Giveth Forum: Join the conversation to shape the Future of Giving

Snapshot vote: https://snapshot.box/#/s:giv.eth/proposal/0xf9368012817a2dbbfb7024ef930d5ea051cfb5789a2c8c4aff5de48600361fa2

Let me know what you think is missing here please

@Lanzer

4. Distribute matching funds

• Deliverable not accepted
• Per Post #44: Yegor provided a Google sheet with matching results. Lanzer is conducting follow-up with Yegor.
  • Yegor, can you help me understand the distribution? I picked a wallet at random, the “Empower Green Futures: Climate Education and Community Action in Northern Nigeria” one at this wallet address, and I see a token balance of $15.43, which is kind of close to the Total Donation of $28.28 in cell D42 or the Matching Amount of $19.44 in cell G42. Can you help me interpret what I’m seeing here?

Distribution hasn’t happened yet because the snapshot vote is due to pass tomorrow, but also we’re still waiting to receive Sandbox DAO’s share of the matching pool to be able to redistribute them.
So the wallet you checked (for Empower Green Futures) currently shows only its direct donations, not the matching amount.
Once all sponsor funds are received and the Snapshot vote passes, we’ll distribute the matching funds on-chain and provide transaction hashes for verification.
