Private Voting with Identity Proofs

Problem

DAO ecosystem contributors and voters are coming under increasing scrutiny from regulatory bodies for their participation in community-governed protocols and wallets. In addition, tying voting actions and preferences to identity via wallets can reveal transnational activity, reducing privacy.

Solution

Identity proofs can help DAO contributors attest to their identity one time for entry into the DAO, but never reveal their entire on-chain data trail within the DAO afterward. Enable 1-human 1-vote private voting within the DAO, use the identity proofs to read the data trail of activity, but not reveal identities so that reputation can be accounted for.

Example
