ePrint Report: Blockchain Governance via Sharp Anonymous Multisignatures

Wonseok Choi, Xiangyu Liu, Vassilis Zikas

Electronic voting has occupied a large part of the cryptographic protocols literature. The recent reality of blockchains---in particular their need for online governance mechanisms---has put new parameters and requirements to the problem. We identify the key requirements of a blockchain governance mechanism, namely correctness (including eliminative double votes), voter anonymity, and traceability, and investigate mechanisms that can achieve them with minimal interaction and under assumptions that …
