Summary

Adds an App Profile for MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) — the
zk-SNARK-based private voting protocol that Gitcoin's GG24 Privacy round used
via Privote (121 applications, 93 accepted, 7,427 QF votes, 35.41 WETH).

Sources

  • Official docs (v3.x): https://maci.pse.dev/docs/introduction
  • GG24 Privacy Round Retrospective and GG24 case study (existing Gitcoin content)
  • State of Private Voting 2026 — PSE
  • Vitalik Buterin's original 2021 writeup
  • GitHub repo (archived 19 Aug 2026)

What's covered

Core components (on-chain message inbox, coordinator, zk-SNARK tally,
key-change/overwrite), the trusted-coordinator trust assumption, the v2→v3
version gap surfaced by the GG24 retrospective, and the repo's archived status.

Checklist

  • Frontmatter follows the schema in CLAUDE.md (banner, logo, authors, related*)
  • Banner generated via the repo's Chladni pipeline (gitcoin.co/generator, Save image)
  • Logo is a white/negative 512×512 PNG, cropped from MACI's own official social
    card (maci.pse.dev/img/maci-card.png) since the project has no dedicated
    standalone logo asset — not a fabricated mark
  • All related* slugs verified to exist in the repo before referencing them
  • Author entry (lordjames) already present in authors.json
  • Content is original writing with cited primary sources, not scraped copy
