Building a Privacy-Preserving Voting App

Source: Dev.to

Overview

Creating a decentralized voting system where ballots remain secret.

Tutorial Steps

• Use Compact to write a contract that stores votes as zero‑knowledge proofs.
• Allow users to submit votes without revealing their identity.
• Verify vote results cryptographically, ensuring transparency without exposure.
• Test the app using tDUST tokens on devnet.
• Explore how developers can extend this pattern to other privacy‑first apps.

Midnight handles all the verification behind the scenes; your contract only defines what is visible.
