fr Vote Quadratique : Le Seul Mécanisme Qui Force les Whales à Payer Gouvernance token-weighted = plutocratie linéaire : whales dominent à bas coût. Vote quadratique : coût = v², pénalité exponentielle, minorités amplifiées. Gitcoin >67M$ via QF (-50-60% biais whale). Simulations : -40-70% Gini. Urgence capture TradFi (BlackRock ~100B). Dispersion authentique.
intelligence Quadratic Voting: The Only Mechanism That Makes Whales Pay Exponentially to Dominate Standard token voting = linear plutocracy where whales dominate cheaply. Quadratic voting changes everything: costs rise quadratically, limiting concentration and amplifying intense minority preferences.
