Zarya - Decentralized Autonomous Intra-Party Organization (DAIPO)

Mathematically formalized party opinion through blockchain voting

Zarya is a distributed software system designed to formalize, manage, and analyze political party opinions using DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) technology and statistical analysis. It provides a transparent and democratic framework for decision-making.

🎯 Overview

The system implements a mathematically rigorous approach to collective decision-making, where party opinion is formalized as a pair of matrices containing continuous and categorical random variables. All changes to these matrices are governed by blockchain-based voting that mirrors the party's charter structure.

Key Features:

• 🗳️ DAO-based Governance - Blockchain voting aligned with party structure
• 🧮 Mathematical Formalization - Opinion represented as statistical matrices
• 📊 Statistical Analysis - Automated aggregation and predictive modeling
• 📝 Auto-generation - Human-readable documents from formalized data
• 🔮 Forecasting - Predict changes in party position

📁 Project Structure

This monorepo contains three main subprojects:

1. zarya-contracts - Smart Contract Layer

Solidity-based smart contracts built with Foundry, implementing the DAO governance system.

Technology Stack:

• Solidity ^0.8.28
• Foundry (Forge)
• OpenZeppelin Contracts v5.4.0

Core Components:

• Zarya.sol - Main contract coordinating the system
• Matricies.sol - Storage for opinion matrices (continuous & categorical)
• Votings.sol - Voting mechanisms and lifecycle management
• PartyOrgans.sol - Party structure and membership registry
• Regions.sol - Geographic organizational units

Documentation:

• Smart Contracts README
• Whitepaper (Russian)

2. zarya-frontend - Web Interface

Nuxt.js-based frontend providing user interaction with the DAO.

Technology Stack:

• Nuxt 3
• Vue 3
• Wagmi/Viem (Web3 integration)
• TanStack Query
• i18n (multilingual support)

Features:

• Voting interface with progress tracking
• Party opinion listing and visualization
• Wallet connection (Web3)
• Responsive design with SCSS

Key Components:

• Voting modal and cards
• Categorical distribution charts
• Continuous statistics displays
• Status badges and progress indicators

3. zarya-api - Backend Services

Spring Boot-based API layer providing additional services and integrations.

Technology Stack:

• Java 25
• Spring Boot 3.5.7
• Spring Security
• Thymeleaf
• Maven

Purpose:

• GraphQL client integration
• Backend services and business logic
• Security and authentication layer

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• For Contracts: Foundry, Solidity compiler
• For Frontend: Node.js 18+, bun
• For API: JDK 25, Maven

Quick Start

Smart Contracts

cd zarya-contracts
forge install
forge build
forge test

Frontend

cd zarya-frontend
bun install
bun run dev

Backend API

cd zarya-api
./mvnw spring-boot:run

🧮 How It Works

The system represents party opinion as 𝓜 = (𝓧, 𝓨), where:

• 𝓧 - Matrix of continuous random variables (quantitative measures)
• 𝓨 - Matrix of categorical random variables (categorical assessments)

Each cell in these matrices can only be modified through:

1. Proposal - A party member proposes a new value
2. Voting - The appropriate organ votes according to party charter
3. Aggregation - Accepted values are added to the sample and statistics recalculated

The smart contracts enforce that only the correct party organ (Congress, Council, Regional Office, etc.) can vote on each specific topic based on matrix row encoding.

📊 Voting Types

• Membership Voting - Adding/removing party members
• Categorical Value Voting - Discrete choice decisions
• Continuous Value Voting - Quantitative assessments
• Theme Voting - Adding new topics to matrices
• Statement Voting - Defining column semantics

🔗 Integration

The three layers work together:

1. Contracts store immutable voting results and matrix data on blockchain
2. Frontend provides UI for members to propose and vote
3. API offers additional services, analytics, and external integrations
