1/ Paper elections went secret for a practical reason. When two Australian colonies introduced the secret ballot in 1856, one of the problems it took on was bribery: if nobody can see how you voted, nobody can check that a bought vote was delivered.

2/ Public onchain voting brings that problem back. Every vote is recorded next to the address that cast it, so anyone paying for votes can confirm they got what they paid for, without having to trust anyone.

Thereโ€™s a new rider in town ๐Ÿšด Privana has been training on Oasis, putting in the miles in closed testing. Itโ€™s private DeFi, so your trades and your strategy arenโ€™t on display for everyone. Weโ€™ve got something for you on Monday. Keep an eye on our socials ๐Ÿ‘€ @PrivanaFinance

1/ Decoded: the ballot box most onchain votes are public while they're still open that means anyone can see who voted, which way and with how much voting power, and a vote you can watch halfway through tends to steer the second half

2/ late voters follow the early lead, large holders can wait to see where things are going before they commit, and people who disagree with someone powerful think twice before doing it in public

breaking: "we take your privacy seriously" is still not a privacy policy

1/ Every time your wallet shows a balance, it asks a server for it unless you run your own node, that server belongs to someone else, and it sees which addresses you asked about, from which IP, and when

2/ that adds up fast if you keep five addresses in one wallet and it checks all of them from your home connection, whoever keeps the logs can tie the five together, and you never had to send a transaction for it to happen

1/ Last year, Oasis invested into @SemiLiquidx to accelerate institutional adoption Today itโ€™s Lombard Systems, with a $4M pre-seed and seed raise led by @etherealvc and a new standard that lets institutions lend against tokenized assets without them ever leaving custody Congrats to the team on progress & evolution๐Ÿฅ‚

1/ Decoded: the doorman on most chains anyone can read any contract for free, and that's fine when everything inside it is public a confidential contract has a harder job, because before it shows a private balance it needs to know who's asking

2/ on Sapphire, a plain read reaches the contract with no sender at all, so typing someone else's address into a call gets you nothing 3/ you prove who you are by signing: a dapp has you sign one Sign In With Ethereum message per session, and a backend can sign each query

Privacy in Everyday Life: when ASOS was breached in October, the stolen data included more than names and addresses. It also included what customers had searched for on the site. The attackers got in by tricking an employee and reached data held on a personalisation platform. The more a service remembers about you to tailor what you see, the more there is to lose.

1/ Decoded: clean hands. On a public blockchain, proving your funds are clean usually means showing where they came from, and that puts your whole financial history on display.

2/ A compliance check rarely needs all of that. It needs one answer: are these funds connected to anything they shouldn't be? Cryptographic proofs can give that answer on their own, without revealing which payments, people or amounts sit behind it.
