  • 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
10% - 1,280,000 ADA
Applying some percentages to each category that add up to 100% produces the following example:
