Taiko collaborates with DoraHacks to launch a large-scale anonymous community voting event based on MACI proposed by Vitalik.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Ethereum L2 network $Taiko is partnering 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 creating positive social impacts. 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 impediments 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 the MACI round, there are two roles: the operator and the user. Users vote on-chain for the MACI smart contract through encrypted votes. These votes are timestamped on-chain, and only the operator can see their votes, with results published after the voting concludes.

Ben Wan, Chief Community Officer of $Taiko, stated, "$Taiko is committed to advancing decentralization at all levels. We are thrilled to see the final round of voting for the hackathon reflect this. The enthusiasm for community participation in building and supporting $Taiko has deeply impressed us, and we look forward to supporting the winners and working together to build a truly decentralized future for Ethereum."
