We are excited to announce that shielded voting, the privacy voting system power by Shutter Network is live on Snapshot! This article explain what shielded voting is and how you can use it today.

Shielded voting is a voting system in which the voters choices are private during the voting period and get revealed when the proposal closes. This prevents the voting process itself from influencing the vote results.

At its core, this voting system use a threshold encryption system designed by Shutter in its efforts to prevent front running. For more information on the implementation please read this technical overview on Shutter Network blog.
To enable shielded voting you need to be an admin or controller of a space and go to the settings page, in the “Voting” section, choose Shutter as a privacy option and click “Save”. Once you’ve done this change, all proposals from then on will use shielded voting. You can disable it anytime.

Here is an example of proposal where you can vote using shielded voting: https://snapshot.org/#/pistachiodao.eth/proposal/0xa5077ef17097b1d59304b110337bd1c7ce98d95d3ff81d138c3886a80074b4d9
Want to learn more about the benefits of using Shielded voting? Read this article on Shutter Network blog.
In this initial deployment the entities collaborating to perform the threshold encryption mechanism (the keypers) are not fully decentralized, if you are interested to run a keyper please contact us or Shutter Network. This is a beta release, the integration and the underlying threshold encryption is new and may contain unknown bugs.

Starknet governance launches on Snapshot X
Following yesterday’s launch of Snapshot X, we’re excited to announce that Starknet has deployed its governance onto the Snapshot X protocol, via the Starknet Governance Hub, a custom UI designed by Yuki Labs. Starknet’s first onchain vote via Snapshot X is live now until September 13, 2024, to decide on a potential STRK staking program. If you’re a STRK holder, be sure to cast your vote on this pivotal decision. We look forward to onboarding more great projects onto Snapshot X soon! Create y...
