And after we get to 100 or so of those ideas anyone, all citizens that want to participate, get 99 tokens. These are not money. They cannot be bought and cannot be traded, but they are issued universally to anyone who wants to participate in a round of voting. Now, you support one project, you can vote 1 vote, which costs you 1 token. But if you want to vote 2 votes, it will cost you 4 tokens in total, 3 votes is 9 tokens in total, four 16 and so on. It is quadratic. So, with 99 tokens, the most you can vote on a single project is 9 votes, which costs 81 tokens, but you still have 18 left. So, nobody wants to squander their money, even though it’s just tokens.
