Today, no one truly knows the real public opinion on almost any issue. Whether it’s attitudes towards transgender athletes at the Olympics or migration policies in your country, sentiment seems to change depending on which corner of the internet you visit. Visit a blog supporting immigration, and you’ll see one poll result. Visit one against it, and you’ll see the opposite. There’s no single source of truth, and this fragmentation makes it easy for powerful entities to manipulate public sentiment.

Our project addresses this issue by providing a consumer-centric experience through seamless integration with Farcaster Frames. By using Referendum on Farcaster, users can participate in non-duplicable referendums directly within the platform, removing the need to leave the ecosystem. This frictionless interaction not only enhances user engagement within Farcaster but also allows for real-time, consistent feedback on major social and political issues. With Referendum, users no longer have to sift through scattered polls with varying results—they have a trusted source of public opinion on any given topic.

Additionally, when a blogger or influencer shares a referendum in their Farcaster feed, their audience can participate immediately without leaving the platform. Login is seamless, using the user’s Farcaster or Telegram credentials, which enhances user experience and accelerates adoption. By eliminating the usual barriers to participation, Referendum helps Farcaster capture and retain a broader audience, creating a more active and engaged user base.
