OSTRAQ

Elections are stuck with a problem nobody's solved: you can have private, accurate, or tamper-proof, but never all three at once. OSTRAQ is what happens when you refuse to accept that trade.

Prove you can vote without giving yourself away. A voter should be able to establish they're eligible without handing over their identity to do it. (Behind the scenes: cryptographic identity proofing built on IdNFT.)

Every vote counted right, and provably so. Not "trust us." Counted correctly, and able to prove it after the fact without exposing how anyone voted. (Behind the scenes: zero-knowledge proofs.)

Results nobody can quietly change. Once it's recorded, it stays recorded. Tampering doesn't survive contact with it. (Behind the scenes: a hash-chained, tamper-evident ledger.)

And all of it runs on cryptography built for the threats that are coming, not the ones we already beat. Meanwhile most of the country votes on decades-old staleware running on hardware my teenage self would've been embarrassed to be seen with. We can do better than that. OSTRAQ is what better looks like.
