About

MACI is focused on building the most secure e-voting solution available. It enables on-chain voting processes with significantly reduced risk of cheating, like bribery or collusion, through the use of Ethereum smart contracts, encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs. Together these technologies provide a set of guarantees including censorship resistance, correct execution, privacy, and a receipt-free voting scheme, which ensures results are transparent but makes it impossible for outsiders to verify how any specific user voted. We believe MACI is most beneficial for governance and funding events, when the stakes are high and anti-collusion mechanisms are critical to help ensure fair and transparent outcomes.

This prize is for the best overall use of MACI! Your integration should be fully functional end-to-end and deployed in testnet or mainnet. - Is there a meaningful problem being solved with MACI? Does the project have potential to solve a real problem in production? - Was the project fully integrated on both the frontend and backend? Does the integration work end-to-end? - Is the project introducing novel implementations or new tech? - Is the project posing a creative solution to a problem? Is MACI being used in a new way?

Qualification Requirements

Projects should be using maci libraries directly (SDK, contracts, circuits, etc.) or build on top of MACI Platform or the MACI Wrapper.
