Anonymous Voting SDK for Midnight Blockchain
Empower your dApps with standardized commit-reveal voting protocols. Our production-ready SDK brings privacy-focused governance to your Midnight blockchain applications.
Get Started
The Problem: Privacy-Focused Voting Infrastructure
While privacy-centric DAOs are a core goal for Midnight, developers currently face significant challenges implementing anonymous voting:
  • No standardized SDK for commit-reveal voting patterns
  • Missing clear API interfaces and integration standards
  • Absence of official test harnesses to verify compatibility
This forces teams to rebuild voting logic from scratch with each project, slowing development and limiting widespread adoption of privacy-focused governance in the Cardano ecosystem.
Our Solution: Modular SDK for Privacy-Preserving Voting
vote-core
Core voting logic implementing commit, reveal, and tally functions with neutral APIs independent of specific wallet implementations.
vote-cli
Command-line tools for testing, recreating, and simulating voting behaviors with easy YAML/JSON configuration.
vote-test-env
Simulation environment for epochs, block times, and failure scenarios, supporting parallel testing and stress testing.
vote-docs
Technical documentation covering architecture, data flow models, and practical integration guides with risk analysis.
Our approach prioritizes maximum modularity with independent, replaceable components and a clear abstraction layer that doesn't directly depend on Midnight's official SDK.
Development Roadmap
1
Milestone 1: Architecture Standardization
Refactoring prototype logic into reusable modules with clearly defined interfaces and standard Rust API design. Deliverables include base SDK structure, API draft, and architecture documentation.
2
Milestone 2: SDK Feature Development
Building core components: commit, reveal, tally, and epoch simulation modules. Includes VoteSession, CommitProof, and TallyEngine with 90% test coverage and comprehensive function logs.
3
Milestone 3: Documentation & Sample Integration
Creating technical documentation, API schemas, and sample applications demonstrating SDK implementation in CLI and web environments, complete with case studies.
4
Milestone 4: Public Release
Final testing, optimization, and packaging for open-source release v1.0.0 on GitHub, including change logs and submission to Catalyst.
Development Cost Breakdown
This chart outlines the estimated costs for each phase of the SDK development, measured in ADA. The total estimated cost for the project is 90,000 ADA.
Milestone 2, focusing on core SDK feature development, represents the largest portion of the budget, reflecting the complexity and critical nature of this phase. This budget ensures comprehensive development and testing.
Value Proposition
Cost-Effective Foundation
Our production-grade SDK provides essential infrastructure for anonymous voting in Cardano's Midnight ecosystem, modularizing complex components to drastically reduce technical overhead.
Open-Source Reusability
Fully open-source design ensures other teams save 30-50% in development costs and time by building on our foundation rather than starting from scratch.
Developed by experienced Rust developers and privacy researchers with proven blockchain R&D backgrounds, our deliverables follow software engineering best practices: clean code, robust testing, formal documentation, and production-ready packaging.
