• Goodbye Web3 Wallets: A Zero-Barrier Experience
• User-Controlled Data Sovereignty: Secure, Localized Protocol Execution
• The Bedrock of Governance: Unbreakable Privacy and Collusion Resistance
• Toward a Future of Freedom to BUIDL

As blockchain technology and decentralized communities rapidly evolve, Dora Factory—a leading platform focused on privacy and governance tech stack — has launched a landmark product: MACI XL. Officially released in September 2025, this Large-scale Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure is hailed as a next-generation “DAO-as-a-Service” solution. It empowers any organization to easily adopt decentralized governance without getting bogged down in the complexities of Web3 user experience.

By completely removing technical barriers and strengthening local protocol execution and privacy, MACI XL not only addresses the core pain points of traditional DAOs but also redefines their boundaries. It transforms the DAO from a crypto-native concept into a natural governance extension for any traditional organization, driving the wave of decentralization into the broader real world.

§Goodbye Web3 Wallets: A Zero-Barrier Experience

Participating in a traditional DAO often requires users to master a range of Web3 skills, from creating wallets to signing transactions and interacting with the blockchain—a significant barrier that deters many non-crypto natives.

One of MACI XL’s core features is its zero-barrier, “Web3-less” user experience:

• No wallet, private keys, or blockchain knowledge required. Whether they are administrators or general participants, users can engage in voting, governance, and decision-making simply by logging in with an email or a social account.
• All on-chain operations are automated in the background. The user-facing experience is as seamless and intuitive as using any common Web2 application.
• Effortless setup and participation. For an administrator, creating a vote is as simple as publishing an online survey. For users, casting a vote is a one-click action, with the underlying cryptographic signing and on-chain submission handled automatically.

This design is more than just a giant leap in usability; it effectively solves “crypto fatigue” and opens the door for non-crypto enterprises, non-profits, and all types of communities to enter the blockchain ecosystem, making the benefits of decentralized governance truly accessible to all.

§User-Controlled Data Sovereignty: Secure, Localized Protocol Execution

While MACI XL removes complex Web3 UX, it maintains localized protocol execution. Unlike traditional systems that rely on the cloud or remote nodes, MACI XL’s core protocol runs directly on the user’s local device:

• Vote encryption and verification processes are completed within the browser or application, meaning private keys and MACI keys are never uploaded to a third-party server.
• Vote encryption and user-side Zero-Knowledge proof computations are local, users generate proofs locally and submit only lightweight verification data on-chain.
• This “local-first” architecture significantly reduces network latency, eliminates single point of failure, and ensures governance remains independent and continuous, even under network restrictions or censorship.

MACI XL runs on top of Dora Vota, the appchain designed for decentralized governance, offering flexible integration options.

§The Bedrock of Governance: Unbreakable Privacy and Collusion Resistance

At its core, MACI XL is defined by its privacy and anti-collusion mechanisms. In traditional governance, issues like vote-harvesting and collusion are persistent issues. As an upgrade to the original MACI protocol, MACI XL introduces a much more robust infrastructure and a suite of toolings.

Together, these features form a solid foundation for decentralized governance, allowing every participant to express their will freely and authentically, without fear of exposure or external pressure.

Notably, within Dora Factory’s 2025 product roadmap, MACI XL integrates with the enhanced aMACI protocol to unlock fully private and collusion-resistant governance protocols, laying the groundwork for future products.

Redefining the DAO: A Governance Extension for Any Organization

The combination of a Web3-less experience, localized execution, and robust privacy has produced a revolutionary outcome: MACI XL transforms the DAO from an “on-chain entity” into a plug-and-play “governance module,” making its powerful capabilities easily accessible to any organization.

With MACI XL, the term “DAO” is no longer exclusive to the crypto community but becomes a universal tool for the real world.

MACI XL breaks the wall between DAOs and the real world, establishing itself as a universal governance service applicable to countless real-world scenarios.

This perfectly embodies Dora Factory’s core mission to “defend privacy and advance individual liberty.” Combined with the previous launch of the Hackerthon MACI Toolkits and the Vota Appchain ecosystem, MACI XL further extends the ecosystem, supporting everything from ecosystem grant funding to real-world pollings.

§Toward a Future of Freedom to BUIDL

The release of MACI XL marks another major milestone for Dora Factory in the field of decentralized governance. With its core attributes of a Web3-less experience, localized protocol execution, and powerful privacy and anti-collusion features, it opens the door for all organizations to the world of DAOs. In the blockchain world of 2025, MACI XL is leading a profound paradigm shift in governance, accelerating the arrival of a future where everyone from everywhere can freely build together.
