🤚Problems with Traditional DAO Voting

Traditional DAO voting systems are built on transparency, but this comes at a cost:

1. Lack of Privacy

  • All votes are public and traceable on-chain.

  • Voters can be pressured, bribed, or retaliated against based on their choices.

2. Vote Buying & Coercion

  • Public votes make it easy for malicious actors to buy votes or coerce participants.

  • Undermines the integrity of the governance process.

3. Social Pressure

  • Voters may not vote honestly if they fear social or reputational consequences.

4. Reduced Participation

  • Privacy concerns can discourage users from participating in governance.

Confidential DAO addresses these issues by making votes private by default.
