Every new platform faces the same bootstrapping question: why would anyone support a project before it has proven itself? The first supporters carry the most uncertainty, so fairness suggests they should receive the most in return. The Bonding Curve is WikiDeal's answer: a public, verifiable formula that anyone can check, designed so that trust comes from transparency rather than from promises.

The bonding curve determines the ''total'' Rewards generated. The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Need-Driven Funding|Need-Driven Funding]] mechanism then determines how those Rewards are split between [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|personal Rewards]] and the community pool. The bonding curve itself does not determine the Cash/Karma-token ratio: that is the Need-Driven Funding mechanism's job.
The bonding curve determines the ''total'' [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] generated. The [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Need-Driven-Funding|Need-Driven Funding]] mechanism and the donor's own choice at donation time then determine how many of those Rewards the donor keeps and how much is left to the project as pure support (see the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards-FAQ|Rewards FAQ]] for the formulas currently proposed). [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Karma-Tokens|Karma tokens]] are a separate, non-convertible form of Rewards, documented on their own page; the bonding curve does not determine them.
