Shielded Voting
Shielded Voting prevents certain forms of voting manipulation that can reduce participation and sway the outcome of community voting on DAOs.
The most trusted and widely used DAO voting protection, and it’s free:
- Shielding 382+ DAOs
- Safeguarded 2,330+ proposals
- Encrypted 216,805+ cast votes
Why is Vote Protection Needed?
Voting is crucial in DAOs for decision-making. We expect these systems to be transparent and fair. However, today's DAO voting is often manipulated and lacks privacy, leading to unfair results.
Live voting results can sway voters based on early trends, and last-minute voting by whales (large token holders) can significantly impact the final outcome.
Shielded Voting Restores Voting Fairness
Using encryption, Shielded Voting keeps voting private during the voting period by only showing the total votes overall. Once voting ends, individual votes are revealed.
This prevents whales (big token holders) from manipulating results.
