MACITips for Voting
Welcome dear judges, to the Decreasing Frictions in DeFi Hackathon, powered by 0x project, Polygon, and other sponsors! We are delighted to have you here as DoraHacks, the platform supporting this hackathon and the ongoing MACI voting round. We would like to provide you with some helpful tips here:
Voting is easy: please click on the “cart icon” on the left side of the page and connect your wallet (via Polygon Matic Network). Then just add your favorite projects to the cart and give them your vote and love!
Whitelisted Addresses: In a MACI voting round, only addresses that have been whitelisted can be recognized by the smart contract and participate in the voting process. To ensure your vote is valid, please make sure to use the provided address for casting your vote. If you are unsure which address to use, you can refer to the following link: [Insert link here].
Voting Credits and Cost Calculation: Each voting address has been assigned 100 voice credits, which serve as voting tickets. In quadratic voting, the cost of casting votes grows quadratically as the number of votes increases. The cost of N votes from the same address will be N^2 voice credits. Here are a few examples to illustrate this:
- 2 votes will cost 4 voice credits.
- 5 votes will cost 25 voice credits.
- 10 votes will cost 100 voice credits, which reaches the limit of the voice credits you possess.
On-chain Observability: It is important to note that the entire MACI voting process is unobservable on-chain, which is one of the intriguing aspects of the MACI mechanism itself. Once the voting period ends, the zero-knowledge proofs of MACI messages will be released and updated on the website. These proofs can be verified using snarkjs.
Contact and Enquiries: If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to DoraHacks on Telegram via @dorahacksofficial. We are here to support you.
Thank you once again for joining us as judges in this event. Your participation is greatly appreciated!
