Decentralized Governance Protocol DORA Factory Announces DORA Airdrop for Cosmos Hub Stakeholders

TL; DR

Dora Factory has launched a gas-free airdrop, Dora, the Dora cryptocurrency, for over one million ATOM stakeholders to participate in governance and funding. This initiative provides an opportunity for the Cosmos community to support public goods and developers with new voting technologies.

Who can use it?

At Polkadot Factory – Dora Factory – a blockchain project that aims to build an open infrastructure for DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) has announced a gas-free airdrop of its native cryptocurrency – DORA. According to a document shared with CryptoPotato, the offer is available to all ATOM stakeholders, meaning more than one million addresses.

The airdrop campaign includes the participation of the Kosmos community in the management of the Democratic Public Goods Funding Program – ATOM Economic Zone Quadratic Funding. The privacy voting round, implemented by the team behind Dora Factory, is set to be the “biggest” MACI (Minimal Anti-Malware Infrastructure) to date.

According to the announcement, all ATOM shareholders received DORA assets in their wallets on June 5. The Cosmos community can participate in the aforementioned funding round after claiming their repository.

“You can use ATOM to vote and donate to a group of public goods you value, support early-stage developers, and determine a matching pool of 80,000 ATOM and $200,000 USDC in 10 rounds of AEZ Quadratic Funding and MACI voting.

Smart contracts for this four-vote round are deployed on the Dora Vota network, and the community can cover gas bills using DORA, the document reads.

The blockchain project aims to introduce “privacy-enabled voting technology to the cosmos community” through MACI Voting. This move is the beginning of integrating private, secure and anti-hacking technologies into a broader range of administrative use cases.

Public goods support

A quadratic funding module, implemented natively by Dora Factory for the Cosmos Hub, has the potential to become one of the on-chain communities supporting Cosmos public goods.

“The first round of the two-year, four-year funding plan for the ATOM Economic Zone, which began in June 2024, has attracted a number of outstanding projects and awaits the attention and support of community members,” the announcement explains.
