According to BlockBeats, on January 28, the Ethereum Layer 2 network Taiko successfully held its first online hackathon, in collaboration with DoraHacks, initiating the largest anonymous community vote to date. The voting involved over 920,000 participants, marking the largest on-chain voting event using Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) technology within the Ethereum community. The Taiko Grant Factory hackathon encouraged developers to brainstorm and design projects focused on innovative solutions, engaging applications, or initiatives with positive social impacts. After months of preparation, the finalists have been submitted for the final vote, representing a significant step towards more community-driven decision-making. MACI, initially proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, is a voting mechanism that applies zero-knowledge proofs to provide privacy protection and anti-collusion measures for communities. It addresses flaws in traditional voting systems, such as fraud, collusion, and lack of privacy, by offering on-chain solutions. MACI uses zero-knowledge technology to ensure that votes remain encrypted while maintaining their integrity and preventing vote-buying or coercion. In a MACI voting round, there are two roles: operators and users. Users cast encrypted votes on-chain to the MACI smart contract. All votes are timestamped on-chain, and only operators can view the content of the votes, with results published by the operators after the voting concludes.
