Hey Giveth fam 
New to the platform and trying to wrap my head around GIVbacks before we dive deeper — quick question for the community:
How does token distribution actually work for donors in a QF round? Specifically: does the GIVbacks allocation change depending on a project’s rank or the size of the matching it receives? And is there a difference between donating during an active QF round vs. outside one in terms of what donors receive back?
Asking because we’re currently participating in the Ethereum Security QF round and want to make sure our community understands the full picture before they donate — including what they get back for supporting us.
For context on why we’re here:
Web3 keeps rewarding marketing, hype, and noise. Builders who actually ship get buried under it. And those spending everything on marketing are usually exploited first — yet the industry has no standard way to tell the difference before the incident.
That’s what we’re building with CORE3 — an open risk standard for Web3 that makes risk legible before the headline, not after. Our Probability of Loss index aggregates 85+ historical risk indicators across security, financials, ops, reputation, and compliance into one comparable score. 1,400+ projects scored so far. We flagged Drift’s and KelpDAO’s elevated risk before the incidents. Methodology and platform are open for anyone to use and contribute to.
If this resonates — even $1 moves it forward. Every contribution in a QF round carries more weight than its face value. It’s a vote that signal should beat noise.

Appreciate any answers on the GIVbacks mechanics — and happy to answer questions about CORE3 or the PoL methodology if anyone’s curious
