DAO Hack, the on-chain governance track of US Crypto Summer Hackathon, will start on July 1,2021. Please reach out here @ https://t.me/hackerlinkofficial if you need more information.

The DAO Hack is coming!

#BUIDL the next level on-chain governance applications for the next MEGA Bull

The core of DAO is on-chain governance. Without blockchain, many things are unimaginable! Now we can implement quadratic voting, Harberger tax, continuous organizations, Moloch, and many more interesting schemes and products ON-CHAIN! The new generation of on-chain governance is coming to reality.

Thus, Dora Factory team is hosting a unique DAO Hack, aka. the Dora Factory Community QF Grant to provide incentive for creative designs in on-chain governance.

Join us to innovate and build DAO schemes and products for the mass adoption of DAO!

Dora Factory Community QF Grant Round-1

For the 1st round of Dora Factory Community Quadratic Funding Grant, Dora Factory is injecting $20,000 USD worth of crypto to the initial prize pool. This Grant will be distributed based on the Quadratic Funding V2 protocol on the HackerLink platform.

Dora Factory’s Community Grant aims to incentivize and reward developers to build on-chain governance schemes, applications, products, and even infrastructure level toolkits to revolutionize the DAO space.

Who can apply?

Hackers building cool DAO stuff. Whether you are hackers with great ideas or already are building moonshot DAO technology or products, we welcome all new and old hacking buddies!

About the US Summer Crypto Hackathon 2021

The market is at another turning point now — we know that DEXes cannot change the world alone. Far from it. If we want to win the long battle, we need to build cryptos into mass adoption.

So, we are organizing an entirely different hackathon from the previous ones — the US Crypto Summer Hackathon 2021, which has three categories: DAO Hack, Doge Hack and Web3 Hack, to address three critical directions of future crypto developments.

  1. The battle of cryptos to become real currencies, especially in space
  2. The mass adoption of Web3 technology and its applications
  3. The emerging DAO and on-chain governance technology
