A next-generation governance protocol combining decentralized identity, jury vetting, and verifiable randomness
A next-generation governance protocol combining decentralized identity, jury vetting, and verifiable randomness
Centralized systems suffer from vulnerabilities that undermine democratic integrity
Single entities can create multiple fake identities to manipulate outcomes
No quality control for candidates leads to unqualified leadership
Centralized counting lacks transparency and verifiability
Low participation from disengaged communities skews results
A 4-phase process combining social identity, jury vetting, and verifiable randomness
Members establish reputation through social attestations
Community nominates candidates via quadratic voting
Random jury evaluates candidates anonymously
Verifiable lottery determines final winners
Combining cutting-edge decentralized technologies
Social graph attestations create cost-prohibitive barriers to fake identities while preserving privacy
Provably fair random selection of juries and lottery winners with cryptographic proofs
All phases recorded on-chain with verifiable proofs while preserving voter privacy
Quadratic voting and weighted lottery ensure minority representation
