The Dora Factory community and DoraHacks are proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Injective team to help support the growth within the ecosystem.

At DoraHacks, we support and build the hacker movement, and Dora Factory provides the critical infrastructure to achieve our goal. Dora Factory has officially become a public good validator for the Injective blockchain. The key objective of the partnership is to help decentralize the network and drive further growth and development to the already growing Injective ecosystem by helping incentivize developers to continue BUIDLing using the rewards generated from the validator operated by Dora Factory.

Injective Hackathons and GrantDAO on DoraHacks.io

DoraHacks, together with Injective, will be hosting a global hackathon, the first event that we will be hosting together. This hackathon will be a fantastic opportunity for developers to come together and BUIDL on Injective’s blockchain. In addition, there will be a sustainable prize pool from the yield generated from the DoraHacks x Injective partnership and bounties to incentivize developers to build innovative projects.

DoraHacks will host the hackathon using their native platform, dorahacks.io, offering bounties, quadratic funding, privacy voting, and other community governance/funding toolkits. We will also assist in co-hosting workshops and demo sessions with the Injective team for the community to learn more about the Injective ecosystem and gain some know-how about BUIDLing within the Injective ecosystem.

“Injective is excited to be working together with the DORA community due to their ability to provide the best support to developers, and assist with the onboarding of new hackers into the Injective ecosystem. We look forward to the success of our partnership including Injective global hackathons and much more.”

Eric Chen, CEO & Co-Founder, Injective

DoraHacks and Injective will also release a GrantDAO program soon, a long-term sustainable model that will help support BUIDLers who are positively building and contributing towards the injective ecosystem. This model supports developers by allowing them to continue BUIDLing and receive rewards as they reach key milestones. Each round of the Injective GrantDAO will result in winners receiving funding continuously as when one round closes, another opens to continue incentivizing teams to work on their project and consistently build.

“At DoraHacks and Dora Factory we are proud to form this long term partnership with the Injective ecosystem as we believe that DeFi applications play a crucial role within Web3. As a strategic partner we are exciting to support developers building on Injective and look to continue driving the growth in the ecosystem.”

Steve Ngok, Partner, DoraHacks
