the future oftokenization
Welcome to Quadratic Acceleration
The Web3 frontier is advancing rapidly, led by innovators rewriting the rules of the digital world. Among them, the Season 1 Quadratic Accelerator Cohort stands out—featuring startups with visionary founders, real token utility, and product market fit. These are the trailblazers of tomorrow, building the foundation for Web3’s inevitable mainstream adoption.
Inaccessible opportunities dominated by insiders, costly exchange listings, and token allocations that favor a select few is still the dominant playbook. These barriers make it difficult for everyday supporters to participate meaningfully. Quadratic Acceleration challenges this status quo.
This is your chance to support these rising stars from the ground floor—at the very start of their token economies. It empowers you to align with bold, forward-thinking startups at the critical early stage, where your support can make the greatest impact.
Step into the future with Quadratic Accelerator and seize your opportunity to support Web3’s most innovative projects.
