How it earns for you

Members never pay to take part or see a revealed total. Groups pay monthly to host rounds, teams pay for the weekly pulse and summaries, and large rounds are sold as custom work.

The pitch, ready

Sealed opinion rounds for groups: everyone stakes an encrypted take, FHE adds them up, only the total is ever revealed.

Problem: Groups decide in public threads where people agree out loud and disagree in private. Founders, leads and funders rarely hear the honest number until it is too late.

Solution: Members seal a conviction from -3 to +3 in the browser. A Fhenix CoFHE contract adds encrypted takes without decrypting any, and reveals only the total, only after close, only above a minimum.

Why now: Fhenix CoFHE brings encrypted types and threshold decryption to Base and other L2s at a few cents per operation, and embedded wallets make it usable by non crypto members.

Market: DAOs, open source collectives, Discord communities, research groups and web3 teams that need honest sentiment, contributor reviews and pulse checks.

The ask: Ten pilot communities with a hard decision coming up, plus ecosystem grants from FHE and public goods programmes.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

  1. Home: meet Wanjiru, 27, in Nairobi. 52 thumbs up on a treasury plan she thinks is a mistake.
  2. Rounds: she picks -2 and seals it. The box shows the count, never an average.
  3. Rounds: replay the founder's decrypt request and show the refused receipt.
  4. Rounds: skip to Friday close, see the honest wait state, then the revealed total and receipt.
  5. Results: sealed round against the public thread, then share the result card.
  6. Host and Pulse: open a round for her own group and hit the free hosting limit, then the Friday pulse.
  7. Owner Rules: raise the minimum to 20 and show the small guild round staying sealed.
  8. Owner Revenue and Roadmap: change the Community price, preview Plans, then request the v2 Discord bot.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Groups make decisions in public threads where people agree out loud and disagree in private. Founders, leads and funders rarely hear the honest number until it is too late.

What exists and what is new

Private voting exists: MACI and Shutter-style shielded voting on Snapshot hide votes until a round ends, and FHE voting examples exist for Fhenix and Zama fhEVM. What this app adds is a small, consumer-ready product around FHE: conviction takes on a scale rather than yes or no, a minimum number of takes before any total is revealed, no live totals, and a weekly pulse habit. The cryptography is existing tooling; the novelty is modest and in the product.

The data it runs on

Encrypted takes as ciphertext handles, the encrypted running total, the round settings, the decrypted total after close, and which wallets took part. Individual choices are never decrypted. Comments and emails stay off chain.

1.The mission

Let any group hear what it really thinks, without anyone having to risk saying it under their name.

2.Why people can't resist it

Honest without risk Nobody, including the round owner, can open a single take.

A number that surprises Seeing the sealed total next to the public thread is the moment people share.

One minute on Fridays Three sealed questions a week build a streak and a running picture of the group.

3.How it works for real

Wallets: Members connect with Privy or any EVM wallet. Membership is checked by an allowlist, a token or a Discord role.

Client encryption: The Fhenix CoFHE SDK encrypts each take in the browser before it is sent, so plaintext never leaves the device.

Contract: A Solidity contract using Fhenix encrypted types adds each encrypted take to an encrypted total with homomorphic addition. Individual handles get no decrypt permission.

Reveal: After the deadline, if the count meets the minimum, the contract requests decryption of the total only through the CoFHE threshold network and publishes the result.

Helper agent: A small model such as Claude Haiku writes reminders and a forum summary from the total and settings only, never from individual data.

Notifications: Discord or Telegram bot for round open, reminders and results.

4.Cost per use and pricing

FHE operations cost more gas than plain addition, and CoFHE pricing is still evolving, so expect each sealed take to cost a few cents or less on an L2 and check current Fhenix docs before launch. A 64 member round is roughly 64 encrypt and add calls plus one decrypt. A helper summary with a small model costs a fraction of a cent. A community running four rounds a month should plan for a few dollars in total.

Community $15 per month
Unlimited rounds for one group up to 100 members.
Team $49 per month
Friday pulse, several groups and exported summaries.
Custom round From $300
A large or high stakes round set up and run for you.

5.Growth loop

Each closed round produces a shareable card comparing the sealed total with the public mood. Members who see it bring the format to other groups they belong to.

6.Risks and guardrails

Young tooling: FHE and threshold decryption are new. Document the current trust assumptions of the network you use and say plainly what is hidden and what is not.

Small groups: A total from very few people can reveal individuals. Enforce a minimum number of takes before any reveal.

Participation is visible: Which wallets took part is public. If that is sensitive, use fresh wallets or a membership proof.

Gambling rules: Stakes are convictions, not money. Adding money stakes and payouts may count as betting in some places. Nothing here is legal advice.

Sybil takes: One person with many wallets could skew a total. Gate rounds by membership.

7.Build order

  1. Round contract with encrypted add and minimum-takes reveal
  2. Browser encryption with the CoFHE SDK
  3. Round setup: question, scale, minimum, deadline
  4. Count-only display while open, reveal after close
  5. Receipts page with take and total handles
  6. Discord bot for reminders and results

8.Where this is going

  1. Now
    One community runs sealed rounds before its public votes.
  2. Next
    Weekly team pulses and contributor reviews where honesty used to be awkward.
  3. Later
    Groups of groups share anonymized sealed totals on common questions.
  4. The world
    Asking a group what it really thinks becomes normal, safe and cheap.

Nine routes from one vessel. Tap a port to open its chart.

Why own Sealed Take

Polls and prediction games run by someone else see every answer, and that changes what people dare to say. Sealed Take runs on your own Fhenix contract on Base, where convictions are encrypted and only the tally is revealed, so your community can be honest and the record of that honesty sits under your name. You become the developer of a working FHE app, which very few people can claim.

What’s stopping you?

“I don't understand FHE.”

You do not need to, to run it. Fully homomorphic encryption lets the contract add up encrypted numbers without decrypting them. The guide explains it in plain words and the deploy is one click. If you want to learn it properly, the code is in your git to read.

“I can't code.”

The guide covers wallet connect, deploy and setting your first question. If you get stuck, the get-it-shipped promise means DEPLOYR helps you finish.

“Is this gambling?”

As shipped, people stake conviction on a take, not money on an outcome you pay out. If you add real money stakes and payouts, that may count as betting where you live. Keep it non-monetary, or get local legal advice first. Nothing here is legal advice.

“Is the privacy real?”

Individual takes stay encrypted on chain and only the aggregate is decrypted. FHE tooling is young, so read the Fhenix docs on its current trust assumptions and tell your users honestly what is and is not hidden.

“What if nobody joins?”

Start inside a group that already argues: a Discord, a class, a team. One good question gets more takes than a launch post.

The million-dollar ladder

Communities, DAOs and research teams pay you to run sealed sentiment rounds for them: private member votes, honest team pulse checks, and pre-announcement opinion polls. You charge a monthly plan per community, and sell larger custom rounds.

  • Sell to DAOs and teams where honest answers are politically hard, such as contributor reviews and treasury direction.
  • Publish an anonymized monthly report of sealed takes across the ecosystem; it markets itself.
  • Add an HR style team pulse plan for web3 companies.
  • Treat the ladder as a target, not a promise. Get to 10 paying communities before planning past that.

Illustrative stages, not a forecast. Results depend on you and the market; nothing here is guaranteed.
