Non-Private Voting Can Lead to Biased Outcomes

When DAO voting displays results in real time, it can create unintended influences on the voting process. Modern elections have long abandoned non-private voting to ensure fairness and reduce the potential for bias or manipulation.

Herd Mentality

Seeing early voting trends can sway voters to align with the majority, impacting the outcome based on momentum rather than individual judgment.

Voter Apathy

Voters who believe their vote won't change the outcome may feel discouraged and choose not to participate.

11th Hour

Large stakeholders (whales) can delay their vote until the last minute, exerting significant influence on the final result.

Layer2DAO has relied on Shutter's Shielded Voting for almost two years to ensure fair and private voting. The privacy and security it provides have been crucial in fostering open and honest decision-making among our members.

ShapeShift DAO

Willy Ogorzaly

The ShapeShift community voted to implement Shutter's Shielded Voting in December 2022 and hasn't looked back since. This simple yet fundamental change has effectively removed the bias that would otherwise occur naturally, focusing voters on the merits of each proposal rather than the current results. Enabling Shielded Voting in SnapShot was straightforward and has required no ongoing maintenance over the past 70+ proposals. I recommend it to any DAO interested in a more fair and unbaised governance process.
