IIT Madras proposes blockchain voting system NARAD on Solana

Researchers from IIT Madras have developed a new voting protocol called NARAD, which can verify up to 50,000 ballots in less than a second. This system leverages blockchain technology on Solana to ensure ballot privacy without requiring a trusted key dealer. The details of this novel approach have been published in an arXiv preprint. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more secure and efficient digital voting systems, potentially impacting election integrity and public trust in digital processes.
