MACI is a set of smart contracts and zero-knowledge circuits upon which developers can build applications, such as voting applications or quadratic funding platforms. It was originally [proposed by Vitalik Buterin](https://ethresear.ch/t/minimal-anti-collusion-infrastructure/5413) in 2019, then implemented and maintained by community members with support from the [Ethereum Foundation](https://ethereum.foundation/). It's now actively maintained within [Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE)](https://pse.dev/).

Using MACI, **voting is private**, yet **voting results are public**. On-chain votes are encrypted, and no voter can prove how they voted, but final results are published publicly on-chain and verified with cryptographic proofs to prevent censorship, bribery, collusion, fraud, and other nefarious acts common in public polling processes.

For a general overview, brief history, and context on the importance of MACI, check out the [Release Announcement: MACI 1.0](/blog/maci-1-0-release) by Wei Jie, one of the creators. He also created a helpful [overview of MACI video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKuNj_IQVYI). Kyle Charbonnet wrote a great [Technical Introduction to MACI 1.0](/blog/maci-1-0-technical-introduction) that provides a walkthrough on how MACI operates. I also recently presented an [introduction to MACI](https://app.streameth.org/zuzalu/zuconnect_hackathon/session/maci_workshop) at Devconnect 2023.
