DonaCuadratico is a Farcaster Mini App deployed on Celo that implements a quadratic tipping system for content creators. Users verified as unique humans through Human Passport (human.tech) send micro-tips in cUSD to their favorite creators, and a matching pool amplifies contributions using the quadratic funding formula — where the number of people who support matters more than how much money each one gives. This creates a fair, Sybil-resistant mechanism where $0.50 from 100 people generates more impact than $50 from one, incentivizing real community participation and rewarding creators with the most diverse support.
To democratize creator funding by ensuring that every real human voice carries meaningful economic weight, regardless of financial power. DonaCuadratico leverages quadratic funding, proof-of-personhood, and low-cost blockchain infrastructure to build a tipping economy where community breadth is worth more than individual wealth — redirecting value from whales and bots to the creators who genuinely move people.
Today's creator tipping systems on social platforms are fundamentally broken in two ways. First, they favor whales over communities — a single wealthy donor has more influence than hundreds of genuine supporters, meaning creators are incentivized to cater to a few big spenders rather than building real communities. Second, these systems are plagued by bots and fake accounts that farm rewards, manipulate rankings, and drain funds meant for real creators and real supporters.
What QuadTip Solves:
DonaCuadratico addresses both problems simultaneously. By applying quadratic funding to social tipping, it flips the incentive model so that broad community support is mathematically worth more than concentrated wealth — a creator backed by 200 real people each giving $1 receives significantly more matching than one backed by a single $200 donation. And by integrating Human Passport's proof-of-personhood verification, it ensures every participant in the system is a verified unique human, making Sybil attacks economically unviable and protecting the integrity of the quadratic mechanism. Built on Celo with sub-cent transaction fees and cUSD stablecoins, it removes the cost barrier that typically prevents micro-tipping from being practical.
DonaCuadratico is a Farcaster Mini App on Celo that combines three technologies to create a fair creator tipping economy. Human Passport verifies every participant as a unique human, preventing bots and fake accounts from gaming the system. The quadratic funding formula mathematically amplifies diverse community support over whale dominance — the more unique humans tip a creator, the more matching funds that creator receives. And Celo's sub-cent fees with cUSD stablecoins make micro-tips of $0.25 or $0.50 economically viable, removing the cost barrier that keeps everyday users from participating. The result is a tipping system where creators are rewarded for building genuine communities, supporters have outsized impact regardless of their wallet size, and every dollar in the matching pool reaches verified humans — not bots, not Sybils, not middlemen.
DonaCuadratico takes a small protocol fee of 2-3% on each matching pool distribution at round finalization. Creators receive their direct tips in full with zero fees — the protocol only captures value from the matching layer it enables. As adoption grows, additional revenue streams include premium rounds sponsored by DAOs or brands looking to fund specific creator communities, and a whitelabel API allowing other Farcaster apps and platforms to embed quadratic tipping into their own products. The model aligns incentives: QuadTip only earns when matching pools are funded and distributed, meaning the protocol succeeds only when creators and communities succeed.
