Vitalik proposed to use ZKP technology to establish an anonymous voting mechanism for ETH holders
ChainCatcher message, in response to the community discussion about ETH holders participating in Ethereum Foundation (EF) governance, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for establishing an anonymous voting tool similar to "anoncast" for ETH holders. Through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), users can verify the amount of ETH they hold and set their speaking frequency based on a ratio. For example, a user holding N ETH can express an opinion every (120 million / N) seconds.
He suggested implementing this mechanism on decentralized social platforms like Farcaster or Lens Protocol to ensure the entire process is intermediary-free and fully trustless. Vitalik believes that this approach can avoid the noise interference of social media while genuinely reflecting the collective voice of ETH holders and showcasing the potential of Ethereum technology.
