According to PANews, Shiba Inu's anonymous lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, shared information on the X platform indicating that the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is exploring the implementation of a blockchain-based election platform. This system, potentially named 'eVote,' aims to collaborate with various blockchain platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Cardano, Hyperledger, and Hedera, to establish a nationwide electronic voting and identity verification solution. Analysts suggest that this initiative aligns with former President Donald Trump's longstanding emphasis on ensuring election integrity.
Shytoshi Kusama believes the success of this system hinges on the integration of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). He also urged Trump to appoint a professional blockchain advisor to oversee the development and implementation of this innovative voting platform. The exploration of such a system reflects a growing interest in leveraging blockchain technology to enhance the security and transparency of electoral processes in the United States. The collaboration with established blockchain platforms underscores the potential for technological advancements to address concerns about election fairness and security.
