Ethereum's Layer 2 network, Taiko, and DoraHacks, the world's largest hacker movement, are spearheading a groundbreaking initiative in Web3. The project, the Taiko Grant Factory Hackathon, aims to advance decentralization in community governance through the largest anonymous community vote ever conducted on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Taiko Grant Factory Hackathon is designed to foster developer creativity, driving innovation, interactive applications, and projects with real-world impact. After months of intense competition, the finalists are now heading into the voting phase, marking a significant step towards large-scale, community-driven decision-making.

At the core of this vote is the Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI), a privacy-preserving and collusion-resistant voting mechanism originally conceptualized by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. MACI addresses the fundamental flaws of traditional voting systems, such as fraud, collusion, and privacy leaks. Dora Factory, the decentralized governance protocol, has carried Vitalik's mission and shipped the best MACI product to date.

For the final round of Taiko's Grant Factory Hackathon, voting will be executed entirely on-chain via MACI. This ensures encrypted ballots, zero-knowledge proof integrity, and protection against vote buying and collusion. Users will submit their votes through smart contracts, with timestamps recorded on-chain, making the process transparent yet private. At the end of the voting round, results will be revealed by the designated operator, ensuring both fairness and credibility. As an incentive, Taiko is distributing 50,000 Trailblazer points to participants, which will later translate into an airdrop.

Ben Wan, Taiko's Community Director, expressed his enthusiasm about the project: "This is decentralization in action. We're thrilled to bring MACI to this scale and grateful to the community for participating in Taiko's growth. The future of Ethereum is decentralized, and we're here to make that happen—together."

This vote isn't just big—it's historic. Over 920,000 participants are taking part, making it the largest whitelisted anonymous community vote in Ethereum's history. Steve Ngok, Partner at DoraHacks, added: "We're incredibly excited to work with Taiko on launching the biggest MACI-powered vote in Ethereum history. DoraHacks and Dora Factory have committed resources
