Tunable Quadratic Funding (TQF) represents a pioneering approach to capital allocation in decentralized ecosystems. Through recent TEC initiatives, including the migration of TEC infrastructure to Optimism mainnet and the facilitation of our hybrid funding rounds, TQF has been instrumental in aligning funding outcomes with @optimism long-term objectives.

TQF enables a unique customization of quadratic funding parameters to prioritize specific community goals, allowing Optimism governance to align their funding needs with the expertise and influence of key stakeholders like OP badgeholders and delegates towards the distribution of external capital sources.

This targeted approach ensures that external capital can flow to projects with strong potential to drive innovation and adoption of token engineering principles while satisfying the needs of the Optimism ecosystem.

In practice, TQF facilitates both initial project selection through quadratic funding rounds and sustained support via retroactive funding phases, creating a powerful incentive structure for high-impact projects to deliver tangible outcomes. By weighting OP delegate and badgeholder votes more heavily, TQF ensures that funding decisions reflect both technical merit and strategic alignment with Optimism’s vision.

These mechanisms have already proven effective, and with our recent grant rounds, Token Engineering the Superchain, we have achieved substantial engagement from OP stakeholders, supported a group of diverse projects building on OP, and provided critical funding for practical applications that are used frequently within Optimism governance.

Through these initiatives, TEC and Optimism are setting a new standard for community-driven, expertise-aligned capital allocation, helping to build a more decentralized and impact-focused capital allocation mechanism that extends OP’s governance structure beyond the activities of the Token House and Citizen House.
