Funding the Commons & Earth Commons: Bangkok Hackathon
Oct.7th - Nov.7th, 2024
Join us to build alongside an incredible community of top builders in the public goods ecosystem in our month-long public goods hackathon hosted on the DoraHacks platform.
The hackathon runs from October 7th to November 7th, 2024, with two phases. Build remotely, and if you'd like, you can join an optional in-person push in Bangkok on the final days, on November 6 and 7.
Funding the Commons and Earth Commons are joining forces to bring together builders from around the world to develop innovative solutions for public goods funding. This hybrid hackathon, running from October 7 to November 7, offers a collaborative environment where participants can ideate, prototype, and refine their projects, primarily online, with opportunities for in-person collaboration in Bangkok on November 6 and 7.
The event begins with an ideation stage, where weekly mini-challenges guide participants in shaping and refining their ideas. These concepts will then advance during the prototype phase, with tracks focusing on areas such as regenerative finance, decentralized governance, and climate innovation. Participants will have access to mentorship and workshops to help navigate these challenges.
The aim of the hackathon is to accelerate the development of tools and approaches that could transform our shared resources, fostering collaboration and creativity across a global community.

Projects & Achievements from Berlin Residency
Residents contributed to the public goods funding ecosystem through their projects. The outputs included an open-source software tool, library, or system, along with a well-documented repository. We also encouraged participants to share their knowledge through blog posts or presentations at future Funding the Commons events
Past Hackathon
Virtual Hackathon 2023
From 1-30 September 2023, Funding the Commons hosted its first-ever Builder Residency — a transformative, month-long, immersive experience that took place in Berlin, Germany.
Attendees experienced the power of collaboration and innovation as builders and hackers came together to focus on the advancement of public goods funding infrastructure, impact evaluators, impact certification systems, and other elements of the public goods funding stack in both Web2 and Web3 applications.
We value open-source and the outputs of the residency are accessible and usable by the wider community, which is why we invited and accepted highly collaboration-minded individuals into our first (but certainly not last) residency program.
