Building the infrastructure for self-governance

Republic is a verb.
People governing together.

جمهور — Jomhoor — literally means "the public." Not citizens who vote every few years, but people who participate daily in the decisions that shape their lives. Five structural gaps in self-governance. Five technologies to fill them.

"Republic is not a building. Republic is the act of people governing together — without a leader, without a center, and without fear."

The Five Structural Gaps — and How We Fill Them

Every attempt at collective governance faces the same structural problems. The Republic proposal identifies five gaps and fills each with a specific technology.

01

Identity

Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)

Prove "I am Iranian" without saying "who I am." Each citizen generates a cryptographic key pair using their National ID Card — no central authority issues or revokes this key. The regime cannot trace your participation.

Privacy by Design
02

Trust

Multi-Signature Wallets (Multi-Sig)

Trust is built in small groups of 3–7 people. Multi-sig wallets require multiple signatures to unlock — no single person can seize funds. Trust shifts from individual ethics to structural design.

Structural Trust
03

Decision

Agora Polis + Rarimo Voting

Agora Polis maps real clusters of consensus and disagreement through deliberation. Then Rarimo enables anonymous, verifiable ZKP voting. Fraud becomes mathematically impossible.

Deliberation + Voting
04

Money

Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

On-chain transactions, participatory budgeting, and a marketplace where Iranians exchange labor and services with verified identities — independent of sanctions and regime banking.

Financial Sovereignty
05

Scale

Subsidiarity

Every decision is made at the lowest possible level. Local groups make local decisions. The coordinating body is a servant of the network, not its owner. Architecture pushes power down, not up.

Decentralized Power

From Identity to Collective Decision

Five steps to participate in the digital republic. Each step is built on open-source technology, verifiable on-chain, and designed to be censorship-resistant.

1

Generate Your Cryptographic Civic Identity

Use your Iranian National ID Card or Biometric Passport to generate a ZKP key pair via the INID SDK and ZK Passport (Rarimo). Identity proofs are stored on-chain via ERC-7812. Prove you're a unique Iranian citizen without revealing your name, location, or any personal details.

2

Form a Citizen Group (Multi-Sig Trust)

Join or form a small group of 3–7 people who know each other. Open a multi-signature wallet together — funds can only be moved when a threshold of members agree. No single person controls the money.

3

Deliberate on Agora Polis

Join Agora Polis — write your opinion, agree or disagree with others' statements, and an algorithm maps the real clusters of consensus. The result is not a binary — it is a map. Read the Polis whitepaper.

4

Vote Anonymously via Rarimo

Issues from deliberation go to anonymous, verifiable vote via the Freedom Tool on Rarimo through Iranians.Vote. Each voter proves membership without revealing identity. Support for Approval Voting and Ranked Pairs (Tideman).

5

DeFi Treasury Releases Funds

When a proposal reaches ≥5,000 verified citizen votes, the DeXe DAO protocol automatically executes funding. All transactions are on-chain — anyone can see what amount went where and when.

We want to bring these components together, under one app that acts as a citizen-state interface.

Every Post, Checked Against Fundamental Freedoms

Before a statement enters the deliberation pool, Agora verifies it against the UN International Covenants on Human Rights. Hate speech and incitement are flagged and greyed out — civic debate is protected.

Agora Citizen Network — Consensus Mapping at Scale

Binary yes/no votes reduce complex issues to false dichotomies. Agora Polis is an open-source, AI-powered facilitation tool for large-scale consultations. It surfaces consensus and maps real agreement and disagreement.

Ranked Pairs — Condorcet-Optimal Elections

Binary yes/no votes lose information. Ranked Pairs (Tideman's method) lets every voter rank all candidates. The algorithm compares every pair head-to-head, sorts by margin of victory, and locks results into a directed graph — skipping any edge that would create a cycle. The source node is the winner.

How It Works

  1. Rank: Each voter ranks all candidates from most to least preferred.
  2. Tally: Every possible pair of candidates is compared head-to-head using all ballots.
  3. Sort: Pairs are ordered by margin of victory — strongest wins first.
  4. Lock: Going down the list, each victory is "locked" into a directed graph — unless it would create a cycle.
  5. Winner: The candidate with no incoming edges (the source) wins.

The Civic Compass — Your Multidimensional Voice

Move beyond the flat left-right spectrum. The Civic Compass maps your stance across eight policy dimensions into a unique 3-D shape — a living, rotating polytope that represents your civic identity in full.

Every Citizen, a Unique Shape

Healthcare, education, economic freedom, digital rights, environment, governance, civil liberties, security & defence — each axis stretches or contracts your personal polytope.

When citizens share their shapes, the platform finds consensus regions where many polytopes overlap — revealing common ground that no traditional poll could surface.

  • 8 independent civic dimensions
  • Real-time 3-D rotation & depth
  • Profiles morph to show coalition overlap
  • Privacy-preserving: only aggregated shapes are public

What the Compass Enables

Rewarded mediatory contribution for perfect civic match Find your civic soulmate Coalition geometry — see who overlaps with you 8-dimensional voter identity Your politics has a shape, not a side Anonymously discover policy consensus zones Polytope proximity matching Score your representative's shape alignment Civic matchmaking for deliberation groups Form alliances around shared dimensions

Iranians.Vote — Your Sovereign Ballot

The official mobile app for digital democracy. NFC-based passport/ID scanning, zero-knowledge proof identity verification, and secure voting on blockchain — all in your pocket.

NFC Document Scanning

Scan your government-issued ID card or passport using NFC technology. Data is read directly from the card's chip.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Your sensitive data never leaves your device. ZKPs verify identity without transmitting personal information to any server.

Decentralized Identity

Once verified, a DID is created on blockchain, giving you full control. Prove identity to services without revealing unnecessary details.

Secure On-Chain Voting

Vote anonymously on the Rarimo L2 blockchain. Approval Voting and Ranked Pairs ensure mathematically optimal outcomes.
