Tor Project · Crypto · Allocation method: Quadratic
Tor × FTC Quadratic Funding
Tor × FTC Quadratic Funding is a crypto-native crowdfunding campaign run by the Tor Project and Funding the Commons. Donations in BTC, ETH, XMR, ZEC and GLM to 10 privacy, anti-censorship and secure-journalism projects decide how a matching pool is split, using quadratic funding so that the number of donors counts more than the size of each gift. The site's home page shows about $184,405 in match funding, from sponsors including Zcash Community Grants ($50,000), Cake Wallet ($50,000), the Ethereum Foundation ($30,000), Logos ($10,000), Xeovo ($10,000) and Octant ($5,000). 15% of total donations goes to the Tor Project and Funding the Commons to cover campaign costs. The matching round ran May 19 to June 19, 2026 and is closed; the site invites sponsors to get in touch about a future round but names no date.
