Teams working on the proposal: IOG research and Photrek

Proposal details

Fund11 proposal

Timeline: March 1, 2024 - March 12, 2025

The aim: to provide a set of efficient blockchain-specific decision making methods for future Catalyst development by

• exploring variations in the voting power distribution
• investigating different tallying rules
• reevaluating and developing new cryptographic protocols to address privacy requirements for the selected voting schemes�

Milestone 3: analyses of the selected voting schemes

• Report 1: Analyses of the selected voting schemes https://bit.ly/4eVBOZH
• Report 2: Privacy-preserving voting scheme https://bit.ly/3Yd4zLS

Current progress and results of the proposal implementation (I)

• requirements for the Catalyst voting schemes
• a set of selected schemes for analysis
• a formal model of voting types and stages

​

• 1 token-1 vote
• Spend voting (voting with a split stake)
• Square-root (quadratic)
• Five different types of Quadratic Voting
• Time-weighted staking
• Curve DAO
• Commitment voting
• Approval voting

Current progress and results of the proposal implementation (II)

• analysis results for quadratic voting (3 different types of it)
• generalization of quadratic voting where all properties are kept
• formalization and proofs for Gini coefficient

​

Current progress and results of the proposal implementation (III)

• proof of a critical importance of a privacy-preserving voting scheme for quadratic voting
• corrected mistakes in published academic papers
• a draft of the cryptographic privacy preserving voting protocol
