  • Voters can only vote once.

  • Casted votes that do not follow the above guide will have ALL votes attached to that voter ID discarded.

Example

The total funding amount for fund 9 is 12,800,000 ADA. Some example percentage values to consider:

1% - 128,000 ADA

2% - 256,000 ADA

3% - 384,000 ADA

5% - 640,000 ADA

  • Weighted outcome - The outcome from the vote is based on weightings. Values will be aggregated from every vote to work out the final value for each category.

  • Rounded outcome - The final values will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, 24.64 would be rounded to a 25% allocation. The total weightings together will equal 100%.
