Dora Factory, a leading protocol specializing in decentralized governance and multi-chain funding for public goods, has successfully secured a new strategic investment led by dao5. This funding round, which also includes contributions from Whampoa Digital and seven other prominent investors, marks a significant expansion of Dora Factory’s capabilities.

This infusion of capital bolsters Dora Factory’s mission to build more advanced infrastructures for its flagship Public Good Staking products, support essential public goods funding and pioneering research, as well as enhance Dora Vota – its newly launched specialized appchain for advanced voting and decentralized governance.

In conjunction with this new investment round, Dora Factory is also expanding its roster of partnerships, including launching the app-chain quadratic funding rounds for Cosmos ecosystem contributors on Dora Vota. 

The initiative undertaken by Dora Factory presents a stark contrast to traditional primary investment models prevalent in the crypto sphere, which are often criticized for their lack of foundational value. Dora Factory’s new strategic raise round highlights its overwhelming fundamentals built over the past 24 months.

Dora Factory distinguishes itself as a model for sustainable growth and long-term viability. Over more than two years, Dora Factory has substantiated its commitment to delivering concrete results, evidenced by the impressive growth of their public good validators, expanding to more than 30 ecosystems and a total value staked soaring at over $250M. 

Tekin Salimi, Founder and General Partner of dao5, has commented on the strategic significance of this investment: “Dora Factory is a critical piece of decentralized governance and public goods funding infrastructure for a long list of crypto ecosystems. While many longstanding projects have been undervalued in the recent bear market, dao5 is excited to inject new capital and hands-on support services to revitalize value for the Dora community.”

Peter Huo, Co-CIO of Whampoa Digital, added: “Dora Factory is akin to the Y-Combinator of the Web3 universe, but powered entirely by Web3-native protocols, ecosystems, communities, and builders in a decentralized manner. It has continuously demonstrated itself as a vital component and catalyst for facilitating innovation across each and every ecosystem it engages with. In line with our investment thesis on Web3 applications and mass adoption, we at Whampoa Digital are excited to support Dora Factory in its mission and growth ahead.”

Dora Factory’s approach to funding public goods across the entire industry is a remedial response to the recent trend of commercializing public goods and their funding, which often disproportionately impacts communities. Instead, Dora Factory emphasizes the intrinsic value of public goods and prioritizes sustainable funding mechanisms. Its commitment to community engagement and demonstrated impact solidify its reputation as a dependable partner to founders and the wider community.

With an eye on the future, Dora Factory envisions a scenario where its public good staking is channelled towards funding frontier technologies. Leveraging its sustainable revenue streams, the protocol aims to support vital research and development in critical areas like quantum computing, space exploration and longevity research, setting itself apart as a forward-thinking leader in public goods funding and Web3 in general.

Eric Zhang, Architect of Dora Factory, commented: “Dora Factory has already commenced significant efforts towards ‘frontier staking’ – bring Web3 infrastructures and funding mechanisms to support nascent space technology startups and communities. As it continues to broaden its influence and increase revenue, Dora Factory is committed to deepening its involvement in these sectors, recognizing their crucial role in shaping humanity’s future.”

Dora Factory exemplifies a successful model in addressing the inefficiencies of traditional funding models, pioneering a sustainable and impactful approach towards public goods support. With its proven track record, dedication to community involvement, and visionary goals, Dora Factory is uniquely positioned to significantly influence the landscape of the future of PoS ecosystems via public good staking and decentralized governance in the coming years. 

This strategic raise, after Dora Factory’s $17.5 million raise in 2021, will accelerate the infrastructure development and public goods funding process in the multi-chain world.

About Dora Factory:

Dora Factory creates protocols and tech stacks for decentralized governance, empowering the new generation of PoS networks, open-source communities and decentralized organizations through trailblazing solutions like the Public Good Staking infrastructure and Dora Vota, a special-purpose blockchain for voting and governance. To learn more about Dora Factory, please see dorafactory.org

About dao5: 

Founded by ex-Polychain General Partner Tekin Salimi, dao5 is a $125 million experimental cryptocurrency investment fund that will convert into a decentralized autonomous organization.

About Whampoa Digital:

Flipster, the fast-growing crypto trading platform, released its final campaign series for the year. Named ‘The Dragon’s Treasure’, this campaign is Flipster’s first themed event, consisting of an initial nine trading competitions over seven weeks with up to 1 million USDT worth of prizes to be given out. The huge prize pool stacks on top of existing generous offerings to bring new users to the platform, who can earn up to 175 USDT worth of bonuses (at the time of writing).

The Dragon’s Treasure is a series of challenges that each run for a week. Each weekly challenge contains a story that is linked to an overarching narrative across an initial seven chapters. Taking inspiration from the pop culture world that the platform’s target demographic grew up with, the storytelling elements are aimed at elevating the trading experience to a level of enjoyment found in popular digital entertainment options. 

For each chapter, a new tournament is revealed in conjunction with a new character and world. The team has created backstories for each of the seven chapters, with inspiration for the characters and chosen worlds being drawn from the unique cultures of Flipster’s user base.

The first competition, named Chapter One: The Lucky Bear, kicked off on 13 November 2023. Users had to compete to win a share of 25,000 USDT in prizes. Building up the momentum and excitement for traders, with each week that passes, more characters are revealed, and the prize money also increases in tandem, with Chapter Five: A Charming Elephant (scheduled to conclude on 17 December 2023) awarding up to 100K USD worth of prizes. Two more weeks of tournaments remain for 2024 before the campaign ends with a bang in a grand final round with record prizes planned.

The crypto-obsessed world has been stunned this year by the rapid rise of Flipster in a year dominated by high-profile dramas in the news and a primarily bearish market. Despite less-than-ideal conditions, Flipster has impressed insiders with its rapid rise in user growth, maintaining a greater than 500% month-on-month user growth. The increase has transformed into a positive 4000% trading volume growth.

Flipster came to prominence around June 2023, having proven they can build and launch in a bear market, bullish whispers predict how quickly they will rise if a bull market does pass next year for the bitcoin halving.

CEO Yongjin Kim says, “We are deeply committed to excellence and innovation at Flipster, and take nothing for granted. I am proud of the team’s performance and thrilled with how this translates into our impressive numbers. It’s incredibly rewarding to constantly encounter individuals who are curious about Flipster’s journey. Their questions about what’s next for us and how we plan to lead the crypto industry in the coming years are not just thought-provoking but also affirming the brand we have carved out. From myself and everyone at Flipster, we wish everyone a joyous holiday season.”

The price of BTC and the crypto market are moving positively, making it a fun way to wrap up the year by trading crypto on Flipster and competing for prizes in The Dragon’s Treasure.

Even in the most depressed market, Coinstore remains confident and faithful to the crypto industry. In this age of exploration, some are destined to shoulder the burden. Coinstore shoulders the mission of evangelism, actively disseminates industry knowledge and contributes to society.

As a Web3 participant, users should learn more of the technological revolution and business model innovation of the industry, so as to attract more people to join the industry and make contributions to the industry development. Therefore, Coinstore published Cryptalk and CS Connect events.
