ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum L2 network Taiko is collaborating with the global geek movement platform DoraHacks to establish standards for community voting, providing the largest scale of anonymous community voting for a hackathon.Taiko's Grant Factory hackathon encourages developers to design projects that focus on providing innovative solutions, engaging and interesting applications, or generating positive social impact. After months of competition, the finalists will enter the final round of voting, marking a step towards greater community-driven decision-making.The Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI), initially proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, is a mechanism that provides privacy and anti-collusion voting in community environments. Concerns about obstacles in traditional voting systems, such as fraud, collusion, and lack of privacy, prompted him to propose on-chain solutions to these issues.MACI uses zero-knowledge technology to ensure that votes remain confidential while maintaining integrity and preventing bribery or coercion. In a MACI round, there are two roles: operators and users. Users vote on-chain for the MACI smart contract through encrypted votes. These votes are timestamped on-chain, and only operators can see their votes, with results published after the voting is completed.
