Key agenda:
-
The Circle worked outlining the two possible winnable issues with context, objective, the core ideas and goals, and the app functionalities.
-
The Circle drafted two proposals to be vetted by the technical teams in terms of the feasibility, scope of work, and which one could be built as a winnable issue.
Topics Discussed
-
A dApp functioning as a sensor or thermometer for elections. Polls are often used to manipulate voters. The current regime has captured electoral institutions and courts.
The application will serve as a parallel voting system, by and for citizens, acting as a way to bear witness to electoral sentiment and its dynamics. It is being explored whether the app could allow users to take pictures of ballots and polling station records as testimonial evidence in cases of fraud.
This parallel system might not change the official results, but it can raise awareness, build consciousness, and generate social pressure against corrupt institutions. A relevant example is the most recent Venezuelan election, where the opposition supporting Edmundo González gathered evidence of ballots and records, secured them in the cloud, and demonstrated Maduro’s electoral fraud to the world.
We learn from the Venezuelan case and use blockchain to create a trustworthy application, where anyone can scrutinize the code and access the statistics. Individuals will be able to vote anonymously, using zero-knowledge (ZK) verification of their voting ID.
We are also exploring the incorporation of incentivized learning activities, meaning that voters should at least be informed about the candidates relevant to their district. Another possibility is to build a prediction market with token incentives.
-
The second proposal is to build an application that empowers citizens by informing them about municipal budgets and budget allocations, allowing people to understand whether their municipality is indebted and whether there is funding for roads, water, sewage, security, etc. This system would begin at the municipal level and later scale to state and national governments.
Once users have access to this information, they can create an anonymous, verified, and immutable record of infrastructure damage and shortages in public services. Citizens can vote and prioritize which issues require immediate attention, generating a collective complaint signed by verified individuals (with validation of residency within the municipality and age of 18+).
This complaint is then delivered to authorities along with all validated digital signatures. Media organizations and NGOs can also use this information. Authorities receive the complaint without being able to target any individual or organization for retaliation, as it operates as a headless or orphaned collective, while still being built and supported by citizens.
In the next sessions of the Circle we will refine these proposals.
It is also envisioned to run a workshop to run the Logos node with the aid of Frutero Club and build a tutorial. The workshop will be for tech and non-technical people such that we all begin getting involved in the evolution of the blockchain.
