What is DAODAO?

DAODAO is a Web3 social fundraising platform that enables anyone to create a DAO ("decentralized autonomous organization") in a few simple steps, to raise money for big ideas from their community.

Unlike traditional forms of fundraising, DAODAO gives any founder low-friction access to capital, community, and liquidity in cryptocurrency.

About the Hackathon

Every hackathon team will be required to launch a DAO on DAODAO, and will be evaluated partially based on how much funding they're able to generate for their project.

Students will get to build and market web3 apps and present their projects in front of the top venture capital firms in web3. Successful projects will receive immediate funding on the final day of the hackathon just by raising through the DAODAO platform.

Free $USDC for All Students

All students will be given $50 in free $USDC for entering their alumni email. This bonus can be used to invest in their fellow students' projects or cashed out on Coinbase.

Get an extra $25 in $USDC when you refer a friend!
Students who refer other students will also receive $25 in free $USDC as a referral bonus.
