We’re excited to announce that Shutter and Snapshot are partnering to bring Permanent Shielded Voting to all DAOs using Snapshot. This new system will use a form of linear threshold-homomorphic encryption (specifically ElGamal) in combination with zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that every individual vote remains permanently private while voting results

DAO voters have long demanded permanent private voting. It’s now on Shutter’s roadmap. This post shares the architecture and a working POC showing how we’re extending threshold-encrypted voting with ElGamal-based homomorphic tallying - so votes are counted in the encrypted state and remain private.

On-chain governance has gone mainstream - but every public vote is a signal that can be bought and coerced. There remains a huge privacy gap in how decisions are made. Shutter aims to help close it with on-chain Shielded Voting.

Kleros, the decentralized “court” of Web3, is upgrading its juror voting system to be more private and user-friendly. By integrating Shutter API’s Shielded Voting into Kleros Court V2, jurors will be able to cast secret votes that remain hidden until the case is closed - without the hassle of

The Shutter team has been working closely with the team

Today, we're excited to announce Shutter Governance, a tool for governance platforms to introduce shielded voting for their users. It uses threshold encryption and is designed to fix issues with misbehavior, voter apathy, and voting incentive systems.
