Quadratic Voting
A voting mechanism where voters can express the intensity of their preferences by spending "voice credits" quadratically (e.g., 1 vote = 1 credit, 2 votes = 4 credits).
Community Capital pools use Quadratic Voting to allocate funds. This prevents whale domination—a few passionate voters cannot overrun the majority. It surfaces true community preferences. Combined with Sybil resistance, it creates genuinely democratic resource allocation.
