Revolutionising Public Goods Funding

How can MACI improve public goods funding?

2024-06-28

By Vee

Public goods are services or products that are available for everyone to consume, regardless of whether they contribute to their creation. Examples include clean air, public parks, and open-source software. These goods are essential for community welfare but often face funding challenges due to their non-excludable and non-rivalrous nature. This is where blockchain technology steps in, offering a decentralised approach to funding these vital initiatives. Through blockchain, transparency and community participation in funding decisions are greatly enhanced.

A post mortem of the MACI bug that caused a denial of service during the ETHDam Quadratic Funding round

2024-05-08

By ctrlc03

During ETHDam's Quadratic Funding round, run on clr.fund, we discovered a critical bug in MACI. The issue stemmed from the lack of validation on MACI public keys within the [Poll contract]. A user (spoiler alert, it was a self-inflicted denial of service (DoS)) was able to submit a MACI public key which was not a point of the Baby JubJub elliptic curve, and it broke everything.

A Technical Introduction to MACI 1.0

Discover MACI 1.0: A groundbreaking solution for secure, collusion-resistant on-chain voting, powered by zk-SNARKs, ensuring transparency and integrity in every vote.

2022-09-22

By Kyle Charbonnet

MACI, which stands for Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure, is an application that allows users to have an on-chain voting process with greatly increased collusion resistance. A common problem among today’s on-chain voting processes is how easy it is to bribe voters into voting for a particular option. Oftentimes this bribery takes the form of “join our pool (vote our way) and we will give you a cut of the rewards (the bribe)”. Since all transactions on the blockchain are public, without MACI, voters can easily prove to the briber which option they voted for and therefore receive the bribe rewards.

MACI 1.0 Release
