Voting Dapp

Blockchain-based voting system to be used with polls/petitions related to the FCT Nova activities. Only those whitelisted can participate and it's implied that only students who are currently enrolled in a program are whitelisted. The system is supposed to facilitate a multi-directional communication between students and university administration (like this: students <-> students <-> teachers, instead of classic teachers -> students).

What's a Dapp?

Decentralized APPlication. Rather than using Front-end with Back-end, Dapp consists of Front-end with Blockchain, which means there's no centralized server in which data could be altered or censored. Everything is transparent and written once and forever.

Smart contract location

Voting smart contract is deployed & verified in the Goerli testnet: https://goerli.etherscan.io/address/0x5c88b30f14e639718d06c167c25df86d72fd219c#readContract

Smart contract functionality

• Anyone whitelisted can create & vote in polls
• Admins can add & remove from whitelist
• Admins can add new admins
• Polls automatically close after a week passes (it's no longer possible to vote)
• All vital information is stored in the blockchain: poll name & description, creation date, author, votes for & against
• In order to prevent admins from abusing system by creating fake accounts, each whitelisted address should correspond to a student number
• Basic test coverage

FAQ

Q: Very little students will participate if they have to pay for each action.

A: It's a problem indeed, but it could be solved by using Paymasters which are actively developed (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337)
