Grant Funding
DoraHacks is thrilled to announce their latest strategic partnership with Confio, a software development organization focused on public goods for the Cosmos ecosystem. The Confio team is the key, innovative force behind the development of CosmWasm, the widely used virtual machine on Cosmos. Together, the DoraHacks and Confio teams have been exploring partnership opportunities that will bring further progress to the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond. As of March 1, 2023, the DoraHacks team has committed to providing a $20,000 grant to Confio to support the CosmWasm pioneers and visionaries to continue to make strides in creating more public goods and value-add blockchain technology.
DoraHacks is a global hackathon organizer and one of the world's most active multi-chain Web3 developer platforms. It creates a global hacker movement and provides crypto native toolkits to help developers around the world team up and fund their ideas and BUIDLs via hackathons, bounties, grants, grant DAOs, and public good staking. By far, more than 4,000 projects from the DoraHacks community have received over $30 million in grants and other forms of contributions from supporters worldwide. A large number of open source communities, DAOs, and more than 40 major blockchain ecosystems are actively using Dora's infrastructure (DoraHacks.io) for open source funding and community governance.
As public goods-aficionados, Confio and DoraHacks share similar values, which is exactly why both teams saw great potential and opportunities with a strategic partnership.
“We're very bullish on CosmWasm and very excited to have this opportunity to support Confio as the core team building it. We look forward to partner more closely with Confio on community initiatives to help onboard the next million developers to Cosmos ” - Eric Zhang, Founder and CEO at DoraHacks

“We are highly grateful to DoraHacks for supporting our continued development of CosmWasm. This support will enable us to continue our mission of advancing CosmWasm development and bringing new features and functionalities to the ecosystem. We are also excited about collaborating with DoraHacks to organize better HackWasm, the very first CosmWasm-focused hackathon organized by Confio, to showcase the potential of CosmWasm and to grow the ecosystem.” - Ethan Frey, Co-founder and GM at Confio
