1 - Access the Settings page(https://dorahacks.io/settings/wallet) within the MetaMask App. (Make sure you have staked DORA and have vcDORA in your wallet.)
2 - Click “Link Multichain Address” to connect your APT(e.g. Petra/Pontem) wallet address with the ERC20 address. (If you don’t have an ERC20 address linked to your account, please link this address first.)
3 - Now you can proceed with voting for Aptos Grant DAO grantees.
Votes cost APT. When your ERC20 address is connected to your Aptos wallet, you will see the vote amplifier as follows.
In this voting round, vcDORA holders will have more voting power than usual voters. The added weight is determined by the real-time vcDORA balance at the time of voting:
Added Weight = log₂(realtime vcDORA counts+2)
For example:
Once you've staked DORA and have vcDORA(>0), the vote amplifier will show up when your wallet is connected. (The wallet to vote via APT and to hold vcDORA should be the same.)
Dora Staking: a way to participate in the governance of Dora grant communities. By staking $DORA at https://dao.dorahacks.io/#/stake(access the page within the MetaMask App), a staker will receive a corresponding amount of vcDORA as the governance credit on DoraHacks.io
vcDORA: short for “voice credit Dora”, a community governance credit generated through Dora staking.
vcDORA is the non-transferable voice credit for DORA community governance, and the amount of vcDORA associated with an address is related to the amount of DORA staked the duration of staking and time elapsed since the initial staking date.
Features of vcDORA include:

Let’s level up your voting profile!
Quadratic Voting is a voting scheme introduced and often discussed in the Radical Markets community. It is often considered an innovative improvement of the traditional 1-person-1-vote or 1-dollar-1-vote voting schemes.
The votes cost $APT, which is directly donated to the respective projects after the round. Each contribution’s influence is calculated based on the weighted amount in the algorithm: 0.1 APT (1 vote) counts as 1 vote, 0.2 APT counts as √2 votes, and n*0.1 APT equals √n votes. So what a BUIDL team can earn from a community-funded grant includes:
The wallet to vote via APT and to hold vcDORA should be the same one. The final ranking will be visible at https://dorahacks.io/aptos/round-6/top
1. What if I encounter problems during the voting process?
DoraHacks.io provides voting support on Discord or Telegram.
2. Can I see my voting history?
Voting history is unavailable for voters at the moment. However, BUILDERs can view your address at the end of the hackathon. If you want to verify your votes' validity, you can view your voting history via Block Explorer.
3. Can I use bots to mass vote for some projects?
Don’t do this. Botting and other ways of cheating will be detected by our anti-Sybil attack mechanism, which is why a grace period (3-5 days) is being implemented. Please keep in mind that botting will NOT give your supported projects any advantage or affect the distribution of the Matching Fund Pool.
4. Who will receive the $APT I donated?
The votes (or “donations”) will go directly to the projects.
5. Why can’t I vote?
Invalid voting may occur for multiple reasons, please ensure that you:
