We’re excited to announce that Shutter and Snapshot are partnering to bring **Permanent Shielded Voting** to all DAOs using Snapshot.

This new system will use a form of **linear threshold-homomorphic encryption** (specifically **El-Gamal** ) in combination with zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that every individual vote remains permanently private while voting results can still be transparently calculated.
