Taiko collaborates with DoraHacks to conduct large-scale anonymous community voting based on MACI proposed by Vitalik.

CoinVoice has learned that Taiko, an L2 network of Ethereum, is partnering with DoraHacks, a global geek movement platform, to establish standards for community voting and provide the largest-scale anonymous community voting for a hackathon.

Taiko’s Grant Factory hackathon encourages developers to design innovative solutions, engaging and interesting applications, or projects that have a positive social impact. After months of competition, the finalists will enter the final round of voting, marking a step towards larger community-driven decisions.

The Minimum Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) was initially proposed by Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, as a mechanism to provide privacy and anti-collusion voting in a community environment. Concerns about obstacles in traditional voting systems such as fraud, collusion, and lack of privacy prompted him to propose a solution on the chain to address these issues.

MACI uses zero-knowledge technology to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and prevent bribery or coercion of voting. In the MACI round, there are two roles, operator and user. Users vote on the chain by encrypting their votes to the MACI smart contract. These votes are timestamped on the chain, and only the operator can see their votes and will publish the results after the voting is completed. [Original link]
