Our project, centered around the open-source and freely accessible Shielded Voting protocol, promises to substantially elevate the Ethereum ecosystem by enhancing privacy, interoperability, and user experience within the decentralized governance landscape.
Privacy Enhancements: Shielded Voting uses threshold encryption to ensure voter confidentiality and protect against undue influence and manipulation. This privacy enhancement is critical in maintaining the integrity and fairness of votes within DAOs, making the governance processes on Ethereum more trustworthy and secure.
Interoperability: As an open-source protocol, Shielded Voting is designed to be integrated with any voting platform. This non-rivalrous nature means that its adoption by one platform doesn't prevent others from doing the same; rather, it enhances the value across the board by setting a higher standard of voting privacy and security. 

User Experience: By maintaining vote anonymity until the close of the ballot, Shielded Voting alleviates voter anxiety about early vote disclosure and manipulation by large token holders, leading to a more equitable voting environment. This improved framework encourages higher participation rates and a more engaged community.
Impact and Deliverables:
Ongoing Support and Accessibility: Shielded Voting will continue to be offered free of charge on Snapshot, demonstrating our commitment to fostering an open and accessible ecosystem.
Expansion of Services: We are accelerating the integration of Shielded Voting with platforms like Kleros and Fractal to broaden our impact and enhance governance mechanisms across the web3 space.
