About Liquium
Liquium is an Open Source polling framework based in Smart Contracts running in the Ethereum network which allows to perform liquid democracy.
We've build a template for organizations which want to integrate a public, fair and transparent polling system, so they can modify it for their own context just forking this repository.
Delegative democracy, also known as liquid democracy, is a form of democratic control whereby an electorate vests voting power in delegates rather than in representatives. The term is a generic description of either already-existing or proposed popular-control apparatuses.
You can read more about liquid democracy at Wikipedia.
There's also a really good video by Jakob Jochmann in Youtube which explains this concept really well.
Liquium is formed by 4 key elements:
- Ethereum Smart Contracts.
- Ionic App for Voters.
- Ionic App for Delegates.
- Dashboard for managing organization's polls and census.
- Node.js server as an Ethereum gateway.
If you need more information about them, we include a README.md for every one of this components.
