How ComComCom works

A short tour of circles, quadratic voting, and how votes flow.

Circles

A circle is one iteration of the community. It has four phases. Each circle lasts 1–4 weeks at Rössl.

Bootstrap
Settlement
Alignment
Closing

Why quadratic voting?

Placing k votes on one task costs k² votes from your wallet.

votes (k) cost (k²) 1 → 1 4 → 16 9 → 81

Earning votes

Two ways: (1) proposing during Bootstrap earns +10 votes. (2) closing a task gives every committer the task's full vote total.

What happens between circles

Unspent votes vanish at circle close. Next circle start = ⌈(this circle's budget) / 2⌉ + (what you earned).

next_start = ceil(had / 2) + earned
