 Giveth has integrated quadratic funding into [our existing donation platform](https://giveth.io/) to help drive more donations to amazing public goods projects!
 
-QF on Giveth operates in rounds. Only donations made during an active QF round are eligible to be matched, any donations made before or after the round dates will not be matched. Rounds can vary in length but generally will last between 2-3 weeks. Other restrictions may apply such as [project eligibility](#project-eligibility), fraud detection and the donor’s Gitcoin passport score, more on that below in this article.

-## Giveth Alpha QF Round
+## Disqualifying factors for Giveth QF
 
-The goal of the Giveth Alpha QF round is to test this new product live with existing verified projects who are familiar with our platform so that we can iron out any kinks with our trusted community! Following the alpha round, we will address any issues that emerge and work towards launching bigger and better QF rounds in the near future.
+These actions can compromise your eligibility for a matching funds:
 
-### Round dates
+- **Offering quid-pro-quo for a contribution:** It is not allowed to give/offer goods or services to donors in exchange for their donation(s). This include raffles, implying that donors will get airdrops, or many other offers that attempt to “game the system”.
+- **Creating a new identity to contribute:** This includes creating multiple wallets for one user, or pretending to be multiple unique donors.
+- **Recirculating funds:** Only “first-touch” donations are eligible to be included in matching rounds.
+- **The funds are not being used for what is expressed in the project page:** QF-eligible projects are responsible for keeping their projects up-to-date with information on how the funds are being used without misrepresentations.
+- **Unscrupulous or fraudulent activity.** This can be the use of violence, breaking laws, or other behaviour that does not uphold the values of the Giveth community.
+- **Attempting to falsify a contribution**
 
-Our Alpha runs from July 18th to August 1st.

+🚨 **These actions can lead to a reduction or nullification of your matching funds.**

-### Matching pool
-
-A matching pool of $10,000 USD equivalent is available to be distributed via the alpha round on Gnosis Chain. This pool will be used to match donations made to participating projects during the funding period according to QF. The matching funds will be distributed some weeks after the round ends, when post-round sybil analysis is completed.
-
-
-### Project eligibility
-
-We contacted 55 verified projects who had raised over $900 USD equivalent on Giveth by July 1st, 2023 to apply to enter. In order for those projects to become eligible for the round, projects needed to [provide an update](https://docs.giveth.io/dapps/projectUpdates/) by Friday July 14. A maximum of 50 verified projects will be accepted into the alpha round.
-
-In addition to these initial projects, each member of the [quadratic force](#quadratic-force) (large donors to the matching pool) were able to select 1-3 verified projects to be included in the round, depending on the size of their contribution to the matching pool.
-
-We will limit the total number of projects allowed in this alpha round to 50.
+The above list is not exhaustive and should be taken as just **some** of the possible unscrupulous activities that could lead to a reduction or nullification of matching.

 ## Estimated matching

 The estimated matching calculations do not consider the donors' [Passport scores](#gitcoin-passport), or post-round fraud analysis. They are rough estimations calculated by assuming that the entire matching pool would be distributed according to the donations made in the round to date. This means that the estimated matching amounts are more accurate towards the end of the round, when there is more donation data being used in the calculations. 
 
-The maximum amount that any one project will be able to receive is equal to 20% of the total matching funds for the round.
+The maximum amount that any one project will be able to receive depends on the set matching cap for the corresponding round, and is a set % of the total matching funds.
