Question 1

How does Giveway work?

Accepted Answer

A pool of real naira is shared out among players' bids. Every player gets 100 Kindness Points (KP) to distribute to other people's bids. When voting closes, the algorithm calculates how much each winner receives based on quadratic funding.

Question 2

Do I need to pay money to enter or win?

Accepted Answer

No. Entering a bid and voting with your Kindness Points is completely free. Backers can optionally contribute money to increase the pool size, but paying money never buys votes or visibility.

Question 3

How are winners chosen?

Accepted Answer

The crowd decides. Scoring uses quadratic funding principles: broad support from many people weighs more heavily than a lot of KP from one person.

Question 4

How do winners get their payouts?

Accepted Answer

When a round resolves, winners receive an email with a secure link to claim their award directly into their Nigerian bank account via Milly.
