Hack-a-TONx will be providing a matching funds pool of $35,000 for grantees from April 6th to April 20th, 2023 at https://dorahacks.io/grant/ton-grant/. By voting for the selected projects, you’ll influence the allocation of the $35,000 matching prize pool and support the builders with the TON coins you use to vote. By all of your support, the stars will shine✨

Quick facts:

1. 1 vote costs 0.1 TON. The cost will go to the project you support directly.
2. The matching prize pool will be allocated based on the voting results.
3. TON used to vote for a certain project will be distributed directly to the project together with the matching prizes.
4. There exists “Progressive Tax” in the updated QF mechanism to narrow the gap between the matching prizes to all the projects. The matching prize to the least voted project will be at least 1/10 of it to the mostly voted project.

Here is a guide to voting for your favorite projects.

Preparation:

• To participate in the vote, you will need some balance of $TON to cover voting costs and gas fees. Supported wallets include OpenMask, DeWallet, TonKeeper, MyTONWallet, TONHub and TONFlow.
• 1 vote costs 0.1 TON.

How to vote:

1. Go to the QF page to check out the participating BUIDLs. There, you can cast your vote to the project of your choice following the prompts on the screen.

2. Click on the "Vote" button below the project you want to support. A pop-up window will lead you to connect wallet. Click the OpenMask button to connect your wallet for the first time. If the initialization process is stuck, refresh the page and try connecting again. (No gas fee cost for initialization)

3. After connecting your wallet, enter the number of votes you wish to give to the project you support and click "Confirm". Finally, confirm your vote in your OpenMask wallet to complete the tx process. The cost of TON will go ultimately to the project you support.

2. Can I use bots to mass vote for some projects?

Absolutely don’t do this. It is strictly prohibited to use bots or any other form of cheating to mass vote for any project, as so-called “sybil attack”. Our anti-Sybil attack mechanism will detect any such activity, and a grace period of 3-5 days will be issued for such purposes. Please note that botting will not give your supported projects any advantage nor affect the prize pool distribution in your favor.

3. Who receives the coins I paid?

The votes (or we call “donations”) will go directly to the projects.

4. Why can’t I vote?

Invalid voting may occur for multiple reasons, please ensure that you:

• Own a sufficient amount of cryptos in your wallet. Depending on the grants you are voting for, you need $TON in your wallet.
• Connected to DoraHacks: you should be notified with a pop-up page on your wallet that asks for authorization to connect with DoraHacks. Once you authorized the action, your account number should appear in the voting interface.
