Proposal Overview
ZK Survey is a decentralized survey platform that enables the users to create surveys and record users’ responses anonymously. Survey creators can create surveys in rich text format like Google Forms.
In coming milestones, a self-service user interface will allow users to create custom surveys, with multi component support in a single survey. Users can also choose to create non-anonymous surveys, and the option to invite users. Analytics will be provided out of the box for each survey.
Use Case
- The DAOs can use ZKSurvey to take anonymous submissions on topics that a simple voting app does not suffice for. The product can also be used for timely administration and internal assessment of the organizations.
- ZKSurvey can be used for feedback collection, data generation, and day to day DAO governance.
- This can be further extended to create confidential surveys that DAOs can use for everyday governance. This line of thought can be explored further based on user interest and requirements.
Competitive Landscape
- Currently, NinjaSurvey is a product available on Harmony with zk-based login and privacy. However, the platform has limited usability and does not support multiple survey formats to cater to different needs of the users.
- BlockSurvey is a widely used product that maintains privacy with encryption. It is a confidential survey tool. This is not on Harmony.
- There are multiple voting applications, but they are not sufficient to capture the use cases and features offered by a survey platform, e.g. in depth analytics, custom survey creation and rule engines, free form data, feedback collection etc.
