One of The Largest MACI-Powered Community Vote
As part of our Grant Factory, we also hosted a community vote using a platform developed by DoraHacks. We’re proud to share that this became one the biggest MACI-powered vote on Ethereum!
The Minimum Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI)—originally introduced by Vitalik Buterin—is a robust protocol designed to safeguard the integrity of voting processes by preventing collusion and bot voting.
We believe in the power of openness and community participation, and we want to thank every voter who contributed to making this event special.
