Project Abstract

  • This application is a response from the anti-collusion infrastructure RFP.

  • Decentralized decision-making aims to be a ACI(anti-collusion infrastructure) implementation for the Polkadot ecosystem.

  • In certain situations where collective decision-making is required, it is a basic requirement to design a mechanism that effectively prevents any on-chain collusion, but, as explained in the RFP, existing voting systems, such as on-chain secondary funds, are likely to pass Collusion and bribery were exploited (see Vitalico's post on collusion).This proposal is intended to serve as a proof of concept that can help enable true anti-collusion infrastructure in the Substrate ecosystem.

  • This is a regular pallet that can be incorporated into any substrate-based blockchain.

  • Our team's goal is to develop a super fair governance chain, and realize that all applications on the chain meet the requirements of decentralized decision-making (i.e. DDapp), and a basic property of decentralized decision-making is anti-collusion and avoid bribery.

Grant level

  • Level 2: Up to $30,000, 3 approvals

Application Checklist

  • The application template has been copied and aptly renamed (project_name.md).
  • I have read the application guidelines.
  • Payment details have been provided (Polkadot AssetHub (USDC & DOT) address in the application and bank details via email, if applicable).
  • I understand that an agreed upon percentage of each milestone will be paid in vested DOT, to the Polkadot address listed in the application.
  • I am aware that, in order to receive a grant, I (and the entity I represent) have to successfully complete a KYC/KYB check.
  • The software delivered for this grant will be released under an open-source license specified in the application.
  • The initial PR contains only one commit (squash and force-push if needed).
  • The grant will only be announced once the first milestone has been accepted (see the announcement guidelines).
  • I prefer the discussion of this application to take place in a private Element/Matrix channel. My username is: @_______:matrix.org (change the homeserver if you use a different one)

Hey @iunknow588 ,
thanks for your application! Could you please change your PR so that you try to add your application into the applications directory instead of docs? That would be great. I'd also appreciate it if you could fix the formatting of the checkmarks in the PR description. :)

Hey @iunknow588 ,
I'm sorry for the long delay, but I'm still in touch with the owner of the RFP to verify that it is up to date and that we are still taking applications for this. I will have an update for you on monday as the latest.

Hey @iunknow588,
turns out the RFP is still valid and we are looking for teams to implement this. I'm happy to let this application go into the review stage. I'll share it with the committee so that you will hopefully get some reviews shortly. I would like to let you know that while we want to have the RFP implemented, ideally the grantee would also be eager to build a business on top of the developed tech. I'd also like to know how the chain you are trying to build will contribute to the Polkadot ecosystem as a whole. Will it be a solo- or parachain?

I left a few comments. It also looks like you are missing the mandatory docker deliverable. See here for additional info. Thanks!

This sounds very vague. It would be nice if you could commit harder in the specification of the deliverables to what you want to implement.

Thanks for the application. The formatting is still not correct. Could you fix this? Also, what are your personal long-term plans for this project? Are you planning to use it yourself?
