DAO Voting Confidence is in Decline: How to Restore It

Decent DAO is integrating Shutter API's Shielded Voting into its governance platform to address declining confidence in DAO voting, which the article ties to low turnout, whale dominance, herding and vote buying. Votes are encrypted during the voting period using threshold encryption, with key shares held by multiple parties, and are revealed and tallied on-chain only after the poll closes. The article says this will be the first Shielded Voting within a Safe-based framework and will be available to any DAO on the platform from day one. Decent DAO also plans further steps, including quadratic voting, conviction voting and fully anonymous ballots.
