Vitalik Supports Taiko and DoraHacks in Conducting Largest Scale Anonymous Community Vote
Article Source: Taiko
The Ethereum L2 network Taiko, in collaboration with the largest crypto hackathon organization DoraHacks, is advancing the largest-ever anonymous community vote aimed at enhancing the decentralization of community governance.
Taiko's Grant Factory hackathon encourages developers to brainstorm and design projects focused on providing innovative solutions, interactive and engaging applications, or projects with a positive social impact. After months of effort, the selected projects will enter the voting phase, a significant step towards more extensive community-driven decision-making.
The Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) mechanism, initially proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, aims to provide a privacy-preserving and anti-collusion community voting solution. Vitalik expressed concerns about traditional voting systems' obstacles such as fraud, collusion, and lack of privacy, proposing a blockchain-based solution.
This vote marks the finals round of Taiko's Grant Factory hackathon, utilizing the Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) mechanism proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. MACI ensures voting privacy through zero-knowledge technology while maintaining the integrity of the vote, preventing vote buying and collusion. In the MACI voting round, users submit encrypted votes to a smart contract, with the votes timestamped on-chain visible only to the operator. After the vote concludes, the operator is responsible for announcing the final results to ensure fairness and trustworthiness. Taiko will reward community voters participating in the vote with 50,000 Trailblazer points (which will be later airdropped based on points calculation).
Ben Wan, Taiko's Community Director, stated, "Taiko is dedicated to advancing decentralization at all levels. We are thrilled to see this progress smoothly into the final voting round of the hackathon. We deeply appreciate the community members' participation in building and supporting Taiko and look forward to supporting the eventual winner as we collaborate in constructing the decentralized future of Ethereum."
This vote involves over 920,000+ members, marking the largest-ever anonymous community vote whitelist scale in Ethereum's history.
Steve Ngok, a partner at DoraHacks, said, "We are excited to collaborate with Taiko and launch Ethereum's largest-ever MACI community voting round, creating the largest whitelist in Ethereum's history. The DoraHacks and Dora Factory teams have allocated resources to continue Vitalik and Ethereum's mission, driving MACI's development to achieve decentralized governance while upholding privacy. We look forward to expanding MACI with Taiko and its vast and vibrant community, exploring its potential."

On March 4, 2026, DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE American: DDC) today announced preliminary, unaudited full-year financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company expects to achieve record revenue and record positive adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by continued growth in its core consumer food business and overall margin improvement. The final audited financial report is expected to be released in mid-April 2026.
Revenue: Expected to be between $39 million and $41 million, reaching a new company high.
Organic Growth: Excluding the impact of the company's strategic contraction of its U.S. operations, core revenue is expected to grow 11% to 17% year over year.
Gross Profit Margin: Expected to be between 28% and 30%, reflecting continued operational efficiency improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.
In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.
The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.
In 2025, Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $5.5 million and $6 million.
In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.
As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC

DDC Founder, Chairman, and CEO Norma Chu stated, "We are proud to have closed 2025 with record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the steady growth of the company's consumer food business and the ongoing improvement in profitability. We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
For the full year 2025, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" (a non-GAAP financial measure) as: Net income / (loss) excluding the following items:· Interest expense· Taxes· Foreign exchange gains/losses· Long-lived asset impairment· Depreciation and amortization· Non-cash fair value changes related to financial instruments (including Bitcoin holdings)· Stock-based compensation
DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) is actively implementing its corporate Bitcoin Treasury strategy while continuing to strengthen its position as a leading global Asian food platform.
