Builders/Hackers

The core mission of DoraHacks is to support the global hacker movement. Hackers are developers and builders (aka ‘BUIDLers’) who work autonomously on projects that make up the next generation of applications and tools in the global digital ecosystem. Every game-changing startup began as a fledgling project; DoraHacks exists to empower these very early stage teams to grow, secure funding, and take their projects to the next level. Builders can list their project on DoraHacks as a BUIDL, take part in hackathons, apply for grants, complete bounties, and secure investment to continue building.

Blockchain Ecosystems

DoraHacks is a key partner for many Web3 ecosystems such as layer 1 & 2 blockchain platforms. Early-stage projects can accelerate their ecosystem expansion and connect with developer communities by running hackathons, establishing their brand and showcasing their technology. More developed chains can also benefit from our advanced toolkits while utilizing innovative community governance technologies such as MACI/a-MACI voting and quadratic funding.

  • Previous partners include: BNB Chain, Cosmos, Aptos, Injective, Filecoin, TON

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)

DoraHacks provides cutting-edge governance technologies to support community participation and voting for DAOs. MACI/a-MACI voting mechanisms ensure the privacy and integrity of participants, while Quadrating Voting is used to prevent the outcome of a vote being too heavily influenced by a small number of powerful voters. In addition, DAO bounties can be created to harness the skills of a community to complete complex tasks.

Previous partners include: TON, Hacker Dojo, Kaia (Klaytn), Yakihonne, Core DAO
