AnonVote employs a quadratic and collusion-resistant voting mechanism on Ethereum called Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) to prevent bribery and scale images quadratically. Additionally, it uses World ID to ensure sybil resistance.
Clone this repo. Install dependencies by running yarn or npm install:
yarn # or `npm install`Copy .env.sample and name it .env.
In .env set values for all the missing variables, such as MONGO_URL, AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME,
AZURE_CONTAINER_NAME, AZURE_KEY, AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING. You can find detailed guides on setting up MongoDB and Azure Storage towards the end of this doc.
cp .env.sample .env
vim .env # set `MONGO_URL, AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME, etc...`Your .env file should looks something like this:
NEXT_PUBLIC_MACI_ADDRESS=0x0eBD0f5C0F0131418ab6e49De1a40c3a86722b4f
NEXT_PUBLIC_STRAPI_URL=https://strapi-admin.quadratic.page
MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://user:[email protected]/database...
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=qdh
AZURE_CONTAINER_NAME=qdh-user-images
AZURE_KEY=24f234f234f+24f243f+24f243f/24f234f234f2f24f==...
AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING=DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https...Now run yarn dev (or npm run dev)
Frontend is now accessible on http://localhost:3000
Now let's set up and deploy MACI on a local testnet.
In a separate terminal, clone MACI: https://github.com/appliedzkp/maci
Carefully follow the steps in "Local development and testing": bootstrap MACI repo, install Rust, build zk-SNARKs, compile contracts, deploy them and deploy a poll.
Once you've deployed MACI and created a poll, add your MACI contract address to .env.
- Create a Storage account. Give it a name. For example
qdh - Go to Storage account > Overview
- Click on Containers. Create a new storage container. Let's name it
qdh-user-images. Make sure that the "Public access level" is set to Blob (anonymous access for blobs only) - Click on Settings > Access keys. Copy paste Account Name, Key and Connection String from there.
- Tada! You now have
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME,AZURE_CONTAINER_NAME,AZURE_KEY,AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING:
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME='qdh'
AZURE_CONTAINER_NAME='qdh-user-images'
AZURE_KEY='24f234f234f+24f243f+24f243f/24f234f234f2f24f==...'
AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING='DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https...'
p.s. We'll eventually try to make this project cloud agnostic. Feel free to contribute!

- If you've used Dokku before, you can deploy mongo instance on it using dokku-mongo plugin.
- You can also deploy MongoDB on your IaaS or PaaS of choice.
