DoraHacks has pioneered a sustainable geek movement to support open-source developers worldwide. In our commitment to foster even more of these movements, we've decided to open up opportunities for hosting Hackathons to the global Web3 community.
If you're from a Web3 company or DAO and are planning to organize your own hackathon, you're welcome to apply on the DoraHacks platform for the chance to host one!
