Central to DAOs, voting facilitates crucial decision-making but is often hindered by issues such as voter apathy, manipulation risks, and privacy concerns. These issues can change voting outcomes and undermine governance integrity.\nShielded Voting leverages threshold encryption to ensure pre-voting information symmetry and confidentiality, greatly reducing the influence of early vote disclosures and late manipulations by token-rich actors. This not only prevents disproportionate influence from large token holders but also enhances fairness and user experience across the board. By displaying only the aggregate voting power during polls and revealing individual votes post-voting, it safeguards the process against undue influence and enhances trust in decentralized governance.\nOur implementation of Shielded Voting on Snapshot highlights its impact and scalability: currently adopted by 382 unique communities, it has secured over 2,330 proposals and facilitated more than 216,805 votes, becoming the preferred voting setup for these users. This widespread adoption underscores its utility and effectiveness in creating a more equitable voting environment.\nLooking forward, we are expanding Shielded Voting's reach in collaboration with Shutter Network, Kleros, and Fractal, aiming to standardize its use across more platforms. This expansion will not only enhance the Ethereum ecosystem's resilience and governance capabilities but also set a new standard for privacy and fairness in DAO operations.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project significantly contribute to the Ethereum network’s infrastructure, addressing foundational needs and innovative solutions to current challenges?", "questionId": 16}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Our project, centered around the open-source and freely accessible Shielded Voting protocol, promises to substantially elevate the Ethereum ecosystem by enhancing privacy, interoperability, and user experience within the decentralized governance landscape.\nPrivacy Enhancements: Shielded Voting uses threshold encryption to ensure voter confidentiality and protect against undue influence and manipulation. This privacy enhancement is critical in maintaining the integrity and fairness of votes within DAOs, making the governance processes on Ethereum more trustworthy and secure.\nInteroperability: As an open-source protocol, Shielded Voting is designed to be integrated with any voting platform. This non-rivalrous nature means that its adoption by one platform doesn't prevent others from doing the same; rather, it enhances the value across the board by setting a higher standard of voting privacy and security. \n\nUser Experience: By maintaining vote anonymity until the close of the ballot, Shielded Voting alleviates voter anxiety about early vote disclosure and manipulation by large token holders, leading to a more equitable voting environment. This improved framework encourages higher participation rates and a more engaged community.\nImpact and Deliverables:\nOngoing Support and Accessibility: Shielded Voting will continue to be offered free of charge on Snapshot, demonstrating our commitment to fostering an open and accessible ecosystem.\nExpansion of Services: We are accelerating the integration of Shielded Voting with platforms like Kleros and Fractal to broaden our impact and enhance governance mechanisms across the web3 space.", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project promise to elevate the Ethereum ecosystem, particularly in enhancing privacy, interoperability, and/or user experience?", "questionId": 17}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Shutter’s vision in our own words:\nhttps://blog.shutter.network/shutter-leveling-the-playing-field/ \n\nShutter’s road map:\nhttps://blog.shutter.network/shutter-roadmap-2024-and-beyond-2/\n\n\nShutter DAO Adopts Fractal's Innovative Solutions for Secure DAO Governance\n\nhttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/shutter-dao-goes-live-fractal-130000918.html?ref=blog.shutter.network\n\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Anything else you'd like to share about your project, previous work, or other project affiliations?
