Dorm is a student-run crypto investment DAO and research platform that applies the university investment-club model to cryptoassets, connecting university blockchain groups with the broader crypto industry. Dorm's Twitter Score is 16 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #61,411 among 482,999 tracked accounts.
Dorm was launched by Collab+Currency in 2023 as a decentralized autonomous organization designed to rebuild student interest in blockchain and build a crypto-industry talent pipeline. Its backing pool, which per Bloomberg reporting republished by the Los Angeles Times included Collab+Currency, Artemis, Consensys Mesh, and Hydra Ventures, pooled roughly 600 Ether for the initiative, with total funding eventually reaching about $2.3 million. Additional backers include The LAO and Lemniscap.
Dorm grew out of Oregon Blockchain Group's Fund I, a student-built token portfolio that Collab+Currency reported outperformed Ether by 13% over two academic years. The same Bloomberg report noted that Dorm's student fund managers outperformed Ether by 15% by the end of the program's first year. Participating student groups research crypto projects, pitch investments, and help determine how DAO resources are allocated across the crypto economy. At Dartmouth Blockchain, participants developed strategies for liquid Ethereum-based tokens and deployed them through a Gnosis Safe.
Dorm's inaugural cohort comprised nine university blockchain groups: FranklinDAO, Michigan Blockchain, Oregon Blockchain Group, Illini Blockchain, Dartmouth Blockchain, Blockchain at UVA, NYU Blockchain & Fintech, Texas Blockchain, and Cornell Blockchain. Waterloo Blockchain Club has since joined the network. Beyond investment activity, Dorm also operates a consultancy initiative offering crypto projects product testing, user-experience and competitive analysis, technical reviews, and back-testing. Oregon Blockchain Group continues publishing Dorm cryptoasset pitches and fund materials, supporting an active status for the program.
