DoraHacks has curated hackathons for over 200 Web 3 startups and developer teams, including the Solana, Polygon and Avalanche ecosystems. The funding round’s backers said in a press release that having access to the front lines of blockchain development was an attractive opportunity.

The capital will be used to drive the launches of the Dora Grant DAO, a decentralized grant community, and Dora Infinite Fund, a venture fund focused on non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

DoraHacks previously raised $8 million last November in a strategic funding round led by Binance Labs.
