[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Singapore, Singapore, February 7th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taiko<\/a>, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, and DoraHacks<\/a>, the largest hacker movement in crypto, are spearheading the biggest anonymous community vote<\/strong> ever conducted in Web3. The initiative aims to advance decentralization in community governance through the Taiko Grant Factory Hackathon.<\/p>\n

The Taiko Grant Factory Hackathon<\/strong> is designed to unleash developer creativity\u2014driving innovation, interactive applications, and projects with real-world impact. After months of intense competition, the finalists are now heading into the voting phase\u2014one of the biggest steps yet toward large-scale, community-driven decision-making.<\/p>\n

At the core of this vote is Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI)<\/strong>, a game-changing privacy-preserving and collusion-resistant voting mechanism originally conceptualized by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin<\/strong>. Vitalik has long pointed out the fundamental flaws of traditional voting systems\u2014fraud, collusion, privacy leaks\u2014and MACI is Ethereum\u2019s answer to fixing them. Dora Factory, the decentralized governance protocol, carried Vitalik\u2019s mission and shipped the best MACI product the market has seen.<\/p>\n

For the final round of Taiko\u2019s Grant Factory Hackathon, voting will be executed entirely on-chain via MACI<\/strong>, ensuring encrypted ballots, zero-knowledge proof integrity, and protection against vote buying and collusion. Users will submit their votes through smart contracts<\/strong>, with timestamps recorded on-chain<\/strong>, making the process transparent yet private. At the end of the voting round, results will be revealed by the designated operator, ensuring both fairness and credibility. As an incentive, Taiko is distributing 50,000 Trailblazer points<\/strong> to participants, which will later translate into an airdrop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is decentralization in action,\u201d says Ben Wan, Taiko\u2019s Community Director<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring MACI to this scale and grateful to the community for participating in Taiko\u2019s growth. The future of Ethereum is decentralized, and we\u2019re here to make that happen\u2014together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This vote isn\u2019t just big\u2014it\u2019s historic. Over 920,000 participants<\/strong> are taking part, making it the largest whitelisted anonymous community vote in Ethereum\u2019s history<\/strong><\/p>\n

The voting event has attracted significant participation, with more than 920,000 individuals <\/strong>expected to take part, making it one of the largest whitelisted anonymous community votes in Ethereum\u2019s history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve Ngok, Partner at DoraHacks<\/strong>, adds: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to work with Taiko on launching the biggest MACI-powered vote in Ethereum history<\/strong>. DoraHacks and Dora Factory have committed resources to expanding Ethereum\u2019s mission\u2014advancing MACI for decentralized governance and privacy protection<\/strong>. We look forward to exploring MACI\u2019s full potential alongside Taiko and its dynamic community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
