How It Works
Every vote in Vora is recorded on the blockchain for full transparency. The blockchain tier depends on your plan, but the principle is the same: once recorded, no one can alter, delete, or dispute the result.
How Voting Works
- A customer casts their vote through your governance space
- The vote is immediately counted in the native system
- The vote data is transformed into a cryptographic hash (a unique digital fingerprint)
- The hash is submitted to the blockchain
- The transaction is confirmed and the customer receives a verification link
Blockchain Tiers
Vora offers three levels of blockchain verification, each matched to a different plan:
Starter (Base Mainnet)
Every vote is recorded individually on Base Mainnet (Coinbase's Ethereum L2). This provides real, permanent blockchain verification at no cost to you or your community. Ideal for getting started with production-grade blockchain transparency.
- Individual vote minting (one transaction per vote)
- Block explorer verification via BaseScan
- Gasless voting (no crypto wallet needed)
Growth & Pro (Base Mainnet)
Votes are grouped into cryptographic Merkle trees and committed to Base Mainnet (Coinbase's Ethereum L2) in compact batches. One transaction proves up to 50 votes, and each individual vote can still be independently verified using its Merkle proof.
- Merkle tree vote batching for efficient, scalable recording
- Per-vote cryptographic proof (each voter can verify their individual vote)
- VoteAuditLog smart contract storing Merkle roots and proposal metadata on-chain
- On-chain results certification when a proposal closes
- Base Mainnet - Ethereum-secured L2 with near-zero gas costs
- Sub-second transaction finality
Both Growth and Pro use identical blockchain technology. Pro adds Innovation Challenges, Advanced Analytics, Custom Domain, and higher quotas.
Enterprise (Ethereum Mainnet)
The same Merkle tree batching technology, deployed on Ethereum Mainnet. Ethereum is the most decentralized and battle-tested smart contract platform in the world, providing the ultimate auditability guarantee for high-stakes governance.
- Everything in Growth & Pro, plus:
- Ethereum Mainnet with $50B+ in staked security
- Dedicated RPC infrastructure
- Custom limits and dedicated account manager
Verifying a Vote
After voting, customers can click View on Blockchain to see:
- Transaction hash
- Block number and timestamp
- Proposal reference
- Vote data
This opens the blockchain explorer (BaseScan or Etherscan depending on the plan) where anyone can independently verify the transaction.
For Growth, Pro, and Enterprise plans, voters also receive a Merkle proof that mathematically proves their individual vote was included in the batch.
Gasless Voting
Customers never pay any blockchain fees on any plan. Vora sponsors all transactions, so the experience is completely seamless. No crypto wallet required, no technical knowledge needed.
