Most people argue about politics; I prefer to code about it. I made a small voting Dapp on Linea after reading how smart contracts can’t cheat. The setup was funny — three other candidates: Alice, Bob, and Coffee Token. Everyone got one wallet, one vote. Watching the votes appear on-chain felt like witnessing honesty for the first time in tech.
The upside? Transparency. No hidden servers, no moderators changing results. The downside? Also transparency. You can see everything, which means privacy is basically naked. Some friends didn’t like their wallet linked to their vote; can’t blame them.
I learned that decentralization is fair but cold. It doesn’t comfort losers, it just shows truth. And maybe that’s fine. When I closed the contract after the final vote, I didn’t feel like a hacker — I felt like a tiny election commissioner.
