vcDORA Voting Rules

This round of community voting will be the first practice of  PLONK-MACI on the BNB Chain.

1. The voting ticket used here is Voice Credit, n votes=n^2 Voice Credit. How many votes you can cast depends on the number of  vcDORA aggregated by the address bound to the DoraHacks.io account when the voting ends (ie, 20:00 UTC+8 on January 20) (check here).

Note:

  • Voting does not affect your $DORA and vcDORA balance, and the amount of $DORA already staked will not decrease. If you want to get more vcDORA, you can also extend the stake period or increase the number of staked $DORA on this page.

  • Since voting needs $BNB as Gas Fee, please make sure that your $BNB is in the same address as vcDORA.

2. MACI refers to Minimum Anti-Collusion Infrastructure, which is an effective mechanism to prevent voting violations.

This voting round will be the first practice of PLONK based MACI. Through DoraHacks MACI-PLONK, the circuit design of zero-knowledge governance will be more flexible, and only one trusted startup is required. MACI will not affect the voting process, but will not display the voting results in real time. The results will be announceD after the end of the voting period.
