Dora Factory, a platform focusing on decentralized governance technology and public goods funding, has unveiled a new gas fee airdrop involving its native token, DORA, for Cosmos (ATOM) stakers. The initiative aims to engage more than one million eligible addresses and set the stage for the largest Minimum Anti Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) voting round to date.

Boosting the Cosmos Hub Ecosystem

Recently, ATOM stakers within the Cosmos Hub ecosystem were recipients of DORA tokens, marking a significant stride forward. The DORA token serves as the foundation of Dora Vota, a decentralized governance application chain constructed using the Cosmos source development kit (SDK).

The latest airdrop is not merely a token distribution event; it serves as a rallying call for the Cosmos community. Known for its dedication to decentralized governance, Cosmos encourages community involvement in a democratic experiment centered on funding public goods. Participants are encouraged to leverage ATOM to vote for and fund public goods projects, extend support to budding developers, and influence the allocation of an 80,000 ATOM and $200,000 USD Coin (USDC) matching pool through ten rounds of AEZ Quadratic Funding and MACI voting.

Advancing Democratic Governance

This campaign is a bold attempt to leverage community support for public goods and emerging developers. The quadratic funding model ensures that even minor contributions from community members carry weight, fostering a fairer distribution of resources.

MACI Privacy Voting

Dora Factory is introducing MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) privacy voting to bolster the security and anonymity of voters. This feature allows individuals in the community to express their views on public goods without disclosing their identities. Participants with more staked ATOM enjoy increased voting power, represented as Voice Credits. A $20,000 USDC prize pool awaits select teams through this privacy-enhanced voting system. To encourage broad participation, Dora Factory will utilize Dora Vota's Gas Station feature to cover all voting fees for the upcoming MACI voting round.
