Biggest Challenges of Running a Quadratic Funding Round

Managing a QF round can be overwhelming: advertising, onboarding sponsors, verifying projects and donors, payouts, engagement. Hardest parts: getting committed sponsors to actually donate on-chain (many are new to crypto: wallet, on-ramp, NEAR.social, on-chain donation). Marketing: attract quality projects, build donor base, explain QF, brand consistency. Keeping applicants updated: no email service; use LNC Watch bot or HERE wallet for on-chain notifications; communicate directly. Nada.bot verification: multi-step UX, NEAR fees, third-party apps; if too hard, they can sponsor instead (no matching). Donors might donate directly to project—remind them to donate through the pot. If Nada.bot gets botted or collusion: team may change human threshold; stay in nada.bot/support for updates.
