DAVINCI was selected as a 2025 Solutions Development Grant recipient by @ETHForTheWorld to build "Ask the World", a miniapp for verifiable, privacy-preserving voting, powered by a @SelfProtocol integration. A milestone-based grant supporting onchain solutions for the UN Sustainable Development Goals: backed by @gitcoin, @CeloPublicGoods, @ethereumfndn, and @maearthstudio. The miniapp is now live, and none of it would have happened without this support. Democratic participation isn't just a crypto problem. It's a global coordination problem, and this grant recognised that early. Try it out: asktheworld.davinci.ninja

We built a voting system where our ID/passport proves you're eligible, but nobody, not even us, knows who you are. Coercion-resistant. Receipt-free. Fully anonymous. Here's how we built Ask the World, and why it matters. 👉🏽 blog.vocdoni.io/ask-the-world-… blog.vocdoni.io/ask-the-world-…

Our very own @jordipainan joins this stacked panel in 30 min to talk about the future of governance and digital voting. Expect insights on open-source voting infrastructure as a public good. Tune in!

Going back to this. If you work on a protocol with some governance involved, I'm curious: Do you have a formal threat model for your governance process? Not the contracts, the governance itself. Not judging. I just want to understand where the ecosystem is on this. Thank you!

Ask the World went live last week . The miniapp isn't the product. The protocol is. Anonymous, identity-verified voting live at asktheworld.davinci.ninja. But that's just one use case. DAVINCI is decision-making infrastructure: @Vocdoni has been powering real elections for governments, parties, and unions, and with the new DAVINCI Protocol, this infrastructure is permissionless, open-source, and ready for builders. Here's why that matters 👇🏽

Governance bugs don't look like bugs. They look like a community that stops showing up. A vote nobody trusts. A fork nobody saw coming. That's what makes them dangerous.

Easy way to get a trustful temperature check on your community ;) or take decisions collectively - take a look!

Yesterday we launched DAVINCI Ask the World miniapp: anonymous, identity-verified voting built by @davinci_vote, and identity provided by @SelfProtocol. asktheworld.davinci.ninja Today: let's talk about what you can actually do with it. If you run a community, you already know: Discord reacts are noise, strawpolls are gameable, and nobody trusts the results. That's over. 👇

Introducing Ask the World. asktheworld.davinci.ninja Anonymous voting with real-world identity verification. No bots. No multi-wallets. Coercion-resistant. Just real people making real decisions: verified by cryptography, not institutions. Built by @davinci_vote, identity by @SelfProtocol. Live now 👇🏽

For political parties, a contested result can split membership and hand opponents a ready-made narrative about dysfunction. That's why internal elections need verifiable proof, not just promises. 7 requirements every political party should demand from an online voting provider 👇 blog.vocdoni.io/what-political…

Genuinely curious: if you work in governance infra, verifiable voting, or anything adjacent: Where do you see the biggest gap between what's technically possible and what organizations actually use? Is it the tech? The UX? The adoption path? Something else?

How much trust does your voting system ask you to take on faith? Not "does it work." Not "is the UI nice." How much of the process depends on trusting someone you can't verify? For most organizations in the world, the honest answer is: almost all of it. 1/7

Voter privacy starts before the first ballot is cast, it starts with how the encryption key is created. Our team has been working on NI-DKG: a non-interactive, ZK-based approach to Distributed Key Generation that eliminates complaint rounds and makes the whole process publicly verifiable on-chain. check the 🧵 below

For a long time, one of the most critical components of participatory democracy has been largely managed by nation-states. This component is the census: the basic question of who is entitled to vote. For citizens, communities and organizations, making a legitimate collective decision becomes almost impossible without access to a trusted mechanism for defining eligibility. In practice, this means that most democratic processes depend on authorization, institutional control, and centralized registries. Today, voter censuses are treated as closed systems. As a result, governments are effectively the only actors able to run decision-making processes with formal guarantees. Not because they are the only legitimate organizers, but because they control the list. The usual justification is privacy. And this concern is valid: sensitive personal data must be protected. But this model did not emerge because it was ideal, it emerged because, until recently, we lacked the tools to prove eligibility without exposing identities. That constraint no longer exists. It is now possible to verify voting rights without revealing who you are, to prove inclusion without collecting personal data, to establish legitimacy without relying on a central authority. From a technical perspective, there are no fundamental reasons left for censuses to remain fully closed systems. Viable alternatives now exist that avoid pervasive data collection while preserving trust and integrity. This opens a new space where citizens, communities, and organizations can run large scale, legitimate decision-making processes while preserving privacy, integrity, and trust. The question, then, is no longer whether this is feasible, it is whether institutions and societies are prepared to explore governance models that distribute responsibility and trust more broadly. The census is no longer just a list, it’s becoming infrastructure. Stay tunned @davinci_vote @vocdoni @SelfProtocol

Heute war ein großartiger Tag für das @diotis_eu Team. Wir hatten ein sehr sympathisches und informatives Meeting mit @vocdoni wobei wir uns über #dao #voting und #Tokenomics ausgetauscht haben. Unsere #Vision2030 nimmt mit jedem Tag mehr Gestalt an #IOTA #DIOTIS #VOCDONI !

Blockchains made voting auditable. But auditable ≠ unfakeable. So we asked a harder question: What if voting results weren’t trusted, but cryptographically forced to be correct? That’s the shift from blockchain voting to cryptographic voting. That’s why DAVINCI exists. ↓ blog.vocdoni.io/from-blockchai…

In case you missed it, authoritarian-stack.info analysis confirms one of the main issues that prompted @Vocdoni to design DAVINCI to fight: a sophisticated, global takeover of democracy by private capital and tech firms. Yes, you read that right.
