Interlocking ZK and DAOs
summary
Aragon Research reports a working stack: anonymous voting used with Nouns and about 20 prototypes exist but none are fully audited for guaranteed privacy, plus a ZK hack 2023 win and tools like Semaphore, Sismo and Axiom underpin proofs of membership. A proposed Private DAO treasury (DAOBank) idea gives DAOs secret-shared wallets to hide per-DAO balances across chains. Claims: zkML for AI delegates, multi-chain proposals, ZK-EVM gaps, and a realistic delivery timeline of about one to two years if audits and developer talent scale.
