Polka Vote Milestone 3

[0xc0de42]

Project Abstract

The PolkaVote protocol is an on-chain protocol for binary anonymous voting that leverages ZKP and to evaluates the final vote on a chain in an anonymous fashion, while obfuscating the vote itself but not the voter's identity.

This proposal serves as the 3rd Milestone of the PolkaVote Web Summit hackathon winner. The idea is to implement the same system that was proposed and developed in the second Web Summit hackathon milestone as a palette.

Grant level

• Level 1: Up to $10,000, 2 approvals

Thanks a lot for the application. I have one initial question as you pointed out yourself, this project is a much better fit for Kusama and not the regular grants program. Why are you for example not applying for treasury funding from Kusama?

[0xc0de42]

Hey, I agree. Made a mistake, what would you suggest to do? Where can I this proposal for Kusama?

[Noc2]

Thanks for the quick reply. In this case, I will close the application. I would recommend to take a look at the treasury section here: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program?tab=readme-ov-file#treasury If the proposal get's rejected, feel free to reapply. Also you should keep an eye on this: https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/498, which might be interesting for you once it's implemented.
