Stargate × Giveth QF Round to Fund Public Goods

General
1

Summary

We are inviting Stargate Finance to collaborate with Giveth on a co-marketing campaign through a Quadratic Funding (QF) round that will fund high-impact public goods and highlight Stargate’s role in enabling seamless omnichain value transfer and decentralized liquidity.

Giveth already supports ETH, OP, and a wide range of ERC-20 tokens, including STG, for donations. This allows the Stargate community to support high-impact public goods using native stable assets or omnichain tokens, showcasing real utility for liquidity providers and cross chain users.

Why This Matters

Stargate’s mission to enable seamless, trustless omnichain asset transfers aligns with Giveth’s vision for open, decentralized, and community driven funding of public goods.

A Stargate-powered QF round would:

  • Distribute funding to community nominated public goods projects that align with Ethereum’s long term health and decentralization
  • Showcase Stargate’s support for sustainable infrastructure and cross chain coordination beyond just liquidity
  • Engage new audiences and contributors through Giveth’s active donor network (avg. 915 donors per round)
  • Strengthen Stargate’s brand through values driven visibility and Web3 native storytelling across social and on-chain channels

Together, we can turn financial coordination into a movement for good -– backed by real utility for the Stargate ecosystem and the broader omnichain DeFi movement.

About Giveth

Founded in 2016, Giveth is an open-source donation platform built for funding public goods with radical transparency and zero fees.

We host Quadratic Funding rounds that direct resources to the projects most loved by the community, no gatekeepers, no middlemen, just code and collective intent.

Since the launch of the GIVeconomy in 2021, we’ve distributed support to hundreds of initiatives across climate, open-source, education, and local resilience efforts.

Key Stats:

  • 4,000+ verified projects
  • 22,000+ donors
  • $4M+ in donations processed
  • $45.1K avg. raised per QF round
  • 915 avg. unique donors per round
  • 202K monthly impressions on X, 8K+ newsletter subscribers
  • Followed by Gitcoin, Celo, Polygon, NEAR, and more

What is Quadratic Funding?

Quadratic Funding is a democratic, community-powered model that maximizes impact by rewarding projects based on the number of unique donors, rather than the size of individual contributions. This means even small donations can have a significant influence on how matching funds are distributed.

QF accelerates the adoption of decentralized fundraising tools by empowering communities to decide which projects deserve the most support. It amplifies impact by directing greater matching funds to the most broadly supported initiatives, not just the wealthiest ones.

This model helps channel funding into projects with strong grassroots backing, engaging a diverse range of stakeholders and strengthening the ecosystem from the ground up.

In 2024, Giveth hosted seven QF rounds with an average 1.6x multiplier on co-marketing funding, driven by active donor participation.

Co-marketing Options

While we offer a premium Legendary Giver package ($40K+), we are also open to crafting a custom collaboration that aligns with Stargate’s community and ecosystem growth goals.

All co-marketing tiers include:

  • Branded visibility across the Giveth platform and social channels
  • High-impact co-marketing: threads, memes, AMAs, blogs, newsletters
  • Project nomination rights and curated ecosystem alignment

Example Budget: $40K matching pool + $13.5K ops

Why Stargate? Why Now?

As Stargate continues to lead in omnichain liquidity infrastructure, this is a timely opportunity to extend its real-world impact into the realm of public goods.

Co-marketing a QF round with Giveth enables Stargate to showcase practical use cases for its technology while supporting community led funding across the multichain Web3 landscape.

The bridge between values and action is ready and there’s no better time to cross it.

Next Steps

We’re excited to hear your thoughts and explore how we can co-create a round that aligns with Stargate’s mission and fuels real-world impact in the Ethereum ecosystem, while expanding impact across the wider Web3 builder ecosystem.
