• Dora Factory launched a gas-free airdrop of its cryptocurrency, DORA, to over one million ATOM stakers for participation in governance and funding.

• The initiative offers the Cosmos community a chance to support public goods and developers through new voting technologies.

Who Can Take Advantage?

The gas-free airdrop of DORA, the native coin of Dora Factory, the blockchain project that seeks to develop an open infrastructure for DAO (decentralised autonomous organisations) on Polkadot Substrate, was announced. A document made accessible to CryptoPotato states that the offering is open to all ATOM stakers, or more than a million addresses. As part of the airdrop campaign, the ATOM Economic Zone Quadratic Funding, a democratic public goods funding programme, is governed by the Cosmos community. The Dora Factory team is expected to conduct “the largest” MACI (Minimum Anti Collusion Infrastructure) privacy voting round in history.

Per the announcement, all ATOM stakes received DORA assets in their wallets on June 5. After claiming their stash, the Cosmos community can participate in the aforementioned funding round.

“They can use ATOM to vote for and donate to public goods teams they value, support early-stage developers, and determine the distribution of an 80,000 ATOM and $200,000 USDC matching pool across 10 rounds of AEZ Quadratic Funding and MACI voting.

The smart contracts for this quadratic voting round are deployed on the Dora Vota network, and the community can use DORA to cover gas fees,” the document reads.

Through MACI voting, the blockchain project hopes to provide “the Cosmos community with cutting-edge privacy-enabled voting technology.” With this action, the integration of secure, private, and anti-collusion technology into a broader range of governance use cases is initiated.

Support of Public Goods

The quadratic funding module, natively implemented by Dora Factory for the Cosmos Hub, provides Cosmos with the potential to become one of the biggest on-chain communities that supports public goods.

“The first round of the two-year quadratic funding plan for the ATOM Economic Zone commencing in June 2024 has attracted numerous outstanding projects and awaits the attention and support of community members,” the announcement clarifies.
