Aztec Workshop 1 - Noir Apps Sprint

[0xrafi]

Demonstrating a potential Aztec feature that could be added to Noir starter kit 1 (StealthNote)

The feature could be adding simple voting to StealthNote through a basic contract for each privacy preserving post.

1. Verify Employment (Existing)

• Already using Noir JWT library to verify employment status

2. Add Private Voting Contract

• Create simple Aztec contract using the private voting example:
  https://docs.aztec.network/tutorials/codealong/contract_tutorials/private_voting_contract

3. Basic Implementation

• Each post gets a unique ID
• Contract stores:
  • Vote tallies (public)
  • Admin address (public)
  • Vote status (public)
  • Individual votes (private)

4. Flow

• User proves employment with existing JWT verification
• If verified, they can vote privately on posts
• Votes are executed clientside in PXE
• Only final tallies are public

5. Integration

• JWT library / starter kit circuit fro verification
• Use Aztec.js for private voting interactions
• Keep frontend simple: just "upvote/downvote" buttons that trigger private transactions
