The problem Incognance solves

Improving Governance with Incognance

Traditional systems obscure transparency, and Web3, while clear, adds complexity as in a DAO. DAOs rely on governance tokens, and in a "weightless" voting system, anyone can vote from various accounts to skew the results. This can be replaced by a credential-based system where a central issuer can issue credentials to trusted individuals that are used to authorize voting. The aim is to design a Web 2.0-like user experience with Web3's decentralization features, incorporating zero-knowledge (zk) technology for voter privacy. Enter Incognance!

Universal Applicability

This product serves a generic purpose and can be used by anyone—from an MNC's Board of Directors making business decisions to a university-level Student Council election and even hackers at a hackathon voting for their favourite protocols😉. All three are examples of a "weightless" system where each vote is valued equally.

Use Case Example

Scenario: A university wants to conduct student council elections and wants the results to be tamper-proof and transparent.

1. The admin creates a voting session on Incognance and adds the proposed candidates.
2. The admin issues credentials to eligible students using Polygon ID.
3. All students then vote for their desired candidates.
4. The results are announced and are verifiable on-chain.

Challenges we ran into

Trouble integrating Polygon ID due to lack of mentor and proper documentation - fellow hackers helped out
Dapp Launchpad npm package was private and wouldn't install - made public by the mentor
Couldn't improve UX due to time constraints
