Description
DAVINCI (by Vocdoni) is an open-source, blockchain-native voting protocol designed for universal adoption. It leverages cryptographic techniques such as zk-SNARKs and threshold homomorphic encryption to enable transparent, privacy-preserving, scalable, and low-cost elections.
Impact
DAVINCI reimagines democratic participation by dismantling the traditional barriers that restrict voting to expensive or centralized systems. By enabling secure, anonymous, and verifiable voting on a decentralized infrastructure, it empowers communities—from local governments to DAOs—to conduct frequent, trustworthy elections at global scale. This shift promises to strengthen civic engagement, enhance governance legitimacy, and protect the autonomy of voters in a digital era.
