Mission
To build a global standard for fair and secure elections by leveraging blockchain technology and MetaMask to eradicate electoral fraud and instill trust in the democratic process.
Features
Blockchain and Metamask Integration
VoteChain will utilize a blockchain, such as Ethereum, for the creation of immutable, transparent, and tamper-proof voting records. MetaMask integration will provide a seamless and secure authentication process for voters.
Voter Registration
Stakeholders can register and verify their identity securely through a multi-step authentication process, ensuring that only eligible voters participate.
Secure Voting
Voters can cast their ballots securely using cryptographic keys, guaranteeing anonymity and preventing double voting.
Transparency
All voting records will be stored on the blockchain, providing an unchangeable ledger accessible to all stakeholders for auditing purposes.
Results Verification
After the election, results can be independently verified by participants, further establishing trust in the process.
