Bugs found in Vocdoni
Vocdoni offers a user-friendly platform where individuals and communities can easily create and manage voting processes tailored to their specific needs.
One standout feature of the app is its implementation of cutting-edge zk-SNARKS technology, ensuring that voters’ identities are kept entirely confidential. Users have the flexibility to cast their votes using ERC20 or ERC721 tokens (including NFTs), or they can even introduce their own tokens into the mix for gasless voting.
QAwerk decided to put Vocdoni to a quality assurance test. Here are some of the bugs we uncovered while browsing.
