- **Requested Amount:** 0 DOT  
- **Date (discussion):** January 25, 2020  
- **Description:** A proposal to use 3,700,000 DOT from the Polkadot Treasury as collateral on Hydration to earn yield and continue a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) schedule for USDT and USDC.  
- **Context:** The Treasury previously moved DOT to Hydration for DCA swaps. Currently, 3,700,000 DOT is idle and waiting to be swapped over ~260 days.  
- **Impact:**  
  - Earn yield on idle DOT, increasing Treasury efficiency.  
  - Boost DeFi by making more DOT available for borrowing.  
  - Grow DeFi metrics and showcase Polkadot's capabilities.

### Quadratic Funding in Polkadot

- **Purpose**: Introduce quadratic funding (QF) as an alternative to the current treasury spending model in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **How it Works**:
  - Projects share a fixed public fund pool.
  - Community votes, calculated by the weighted square root of donations, determine the final distribution.
- **Benefits**:
  - Reduces the influence of large token holders.
  - Encourages broader community support.
- **Challenges**:
  - Potential for Sybil attacks (fake accounts).
  - Incentivizing donations when a public fund pool exists.
- **Implementation**:
  - Funding rounds with predetermined budgets.
  - Projects apply and are reviewed by curators.
  - Communities donate assets, and funds are distributed via child bounties.
- **Reputation System**:
  - Addresses have voting weights based on on-chain and off-chain activities.
- **Audit**:
  - Transparent fund distribution and voting weight information.
- **FAQ**:
  - QF is an alternative to, not a replacement for, OpenGov treasury funding.
  - Projects can apply for both QF and OpenGov funding.
  - Whales benefit from QF by improving treasury spending decisions.
