Are there any geographical limitations?

How does extended quadratic voting work?

Our voting system considers three key factors: the number of supporters, their proven track record of social impact (shown as an "impact score"), and their financial contributions to your project. This balanced approach rewards projects that gain broad community support, especially from demonstrated changemakers.
