Quadratic Voting at EthTurin
Giovanni di Lauro, Fanny Lakoubay, Matteo Tambussi, Victor Zscharnt
June 21, 2020
EthTurin hackathon was organized in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic by a small group of people tied to RadicalxChange. Challenging times call for innovation and creative solutions, and ETHTURIN did not fall short of it. We will present how a local in-person hackathon was switched online successfully thanks to the Ethereum community, decentralized tools and a lot of energy. The focus will be on the innovative use of quadratic voting and NFTs (non fungible tokens) to allow all participants to vote for the hackathon winning project, thanks to the Deora Earth team. An important use case for Quadratic Voting that has a bright future. More at https://www.ethturin.com
