The injection of funds is earmarked for accelerating the adoption and strategic expansion of Dora Factory’s innovative tech stack dedicated to decentralized governance and the funding of public goods.


Dora Factory offers several key products, its flagship offering, Public Good Staking, drives ecosystem funding through block incentives. Other significant innovations include Dora Vota, a dGov protocol hosting Cosmos SDK appchain; the privacy-centric, collusion-resistant MACI voting infrastructure; and the multi-chain Quadratic Governance protocol, which democratizes funding for public goods.


Recently, the Cosmos Hub community ratified governance proposal No.917 along with a $1 million grant to AEZ Quadratic Grant for running ten rounds of Quadratic Funding over the next 24 months using Dora Factory’s Dora Vota. This funding is destined for public good builders and startups within the Cosmos Hub and associated ecosystems, contributing to the burgeoning ATOM Economic Zone.


Earlier in the year, Dora Factory celebrated a strategic funding round led by newcomers dao5 and Whampoa Digital. This round contributed to the total $17.5 million raised in 2021 from backers, including Binance Labs, HashKey, and The LAO.


With collaboration from over 30 Web3 ecosystems like Aptos and Klaytn, Dora Factory has solidified its role as a pivotal ecosystem partner. The Public Good Staking initiative launched in 2022 is a testament to its commitment to sustainable funding for public goods builders and early-stage development teams.


Dora Factory continues to lead in building protocols and infrastructures that enable efficient decentralized governance and funding across the global hacker movement and Web3 public goods.
