New developments make voting with decentralized tech a more realizable goal.
New and improved technology could soon make blockchain-based voting a viable alternative to paper ballots in elections.
Layer-2 (L2) network solutions, combined with zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, can provide both the scalability and privacy necessary to conduct elections using blockchain technology.
ZK-proofs are a way to prove an input for a blockchain transaction without revealing the actual underlying information. In the case of elections, this could pertain to voter identity. L2s aim to allow the network to scale to accommodate a large number of voters and information.
