Quadratic Greenback Homepage
The Quadratic Greenback Homepage is impressed by the Million Greenback Homepage, which offered show house by the pixel. Moderately than merely promoting house, the Quadratic Greenback Homepage (QDH) lets customers decide the relative scale of pictures on the web page utilizing two experimental blockchain voting mechanisms:
- Quadratic voting permits voters to point not solely their preferences between a set of choices, however the power of these preferences. On QDH, holders of MOON, BRICK or POAP tokens can solid as many votes as they’ve tokens, distributed between the pictures on the web page in no matter means they select.
- Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) discourages bribery by making it inconceivable to confirm how a person has voted. QDH accomplishes this by giving the person an “I am being bribed” choice when signing the vote transaction. This causes the transaction to be despatched with an incorrect nonce, invalidating the vote. The person can then change their signing key to submit a second, legitimate vote.
Grantee Raman Shalupau has lately accomplished his funded work on the QDH person interface, MACI sensible contracts and documentation. For a extra in-depth take a look at how QDH works, this demo a supplies a video walk-through of each the net interface and the again finish parts. You’ll find Raman Shalupau on Twitter @ksaitor, or contribute to Quadratic Greenback Homepage on Github.
