The plan is to build a transparent onchain election portal where students can vote in a specified time and their votes are encrypted on chain but verifiable using ZKPs. The number of votes won by a contestant will only be revealed once the election is over with the privacy of voter being maintained. ZKP ensures that each voter only votes once anonymously. Circom can be used to write ZK circuits. We plan to use SnarkJS to generate proofs for verification. Smart contract wallet (Account abstraction) can be used for storing votes and other information which can be made recoverable.
Prerequisites : Enthusiasm and development knowledge
Tentative Timeline :
| Week | Work |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Gain basic knowledge of blockchain and cryptography (ZKPs) |
| Week 2 | Start building a basic smart contract capable to handle simple voting |
| Week 3 | Build smart contract wallet and look for its recovery |
| Week 4 | Use circom to write ZKP circuits |
| Week 5-6 | Use ZKP for verification ie.,for post voting results, Do audit of smart contracts |
| Week 7 | Build an UI and deploy |
