According to the Daily Planet, after the first round of Dora Vota node expansion was completed, the long-term quadratic funding of ATOM Economic Zone (AEZ) was restarted on the DoraHacks.io platform. A total of 8 projects entered the quadratic voting phase to receive funding. ATOM users can vote for the projects selected for Grant funding through Dora Vota before March 3. The allocation of this round of quadratic matching bonus pool is jointly determined by community voting and due diligence results of the shortlisted projects.

AEZ Quadratic Grant is committed to long-term funding of public goods and emerging application chains in the Cosmos ecosystem to help expand the Cosmos application chain and the entire ATOM ecosystem. The eight projects that entered the first round of quadratic voting are Pouch, Abstract SDK, CosmWasm Orchestrator (cw-orchestrator), CosmWasm Interchain Accounts Controller, Fairblock Network, The Rollup (Cosmos), Packet Forward Middle Ware and InterChain NFT Gateway, covering infrastructure, SDK/middleware, privacy, media education, DeFi, NFT and other project types. The AEZ Quadratic Grant application and community funding entrance will be open to the public for a long time, and the selection and quadratic funding will be carried out regularly.
