Global Petition Chain for Assange’s Pardon
Proposal Summary:
Leverage blockchain technology to create a decentralized global petition platform that collects signatures in support of Julian Assange’s pardon. The platform will serve as a tamper-proof public record that can be submitted to relevant governments and international institutions.
Specific Measures:
• Platform Features:
- Anonymous Signatures: Utilize zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to allow users to sign the petition anonymously, protecting their privacy.
- Blockchain Recording: Store signature data on Ethereum or Arweave to ensure transparency and immutability.
- Multilingual Support: Offer interfaces in English, Spanish, Chinese, and other languages to encourage global participation.
- Public Query Access: Allow the public to view the total number of signatures and their distribution (e.g., by country), enhancing credibility and impact.
• Implementation:
- Layer 2 Deployment: Develop the platform on a low-cost Layer 2 solution such as Polygon to minimize gas fees.
- Privacy Partnerships: Collaborate with privacy tech communities (e.g., the Tor Project) to ensure secure signing processes.
• Community Involvement:
- $JUSTICE Token Voting: Token holders can vote on the petition wording and target recipients (e.g., the U.S. government, the United Nations).
- Incentivized Promotion: Encourage users to share the petition via social media by rewarding them with tokens or NFT badges.
• Outreach Strategy:
- Launch global campaigns on Twitter, Reddit, and Telegram to engage human rights groups, journalists, and the public.
- Collaborate with pro-Assange organizations (e.g., the Free Assange movement) to maximize reach and credibility.
Expected Outcomes:
- Collect millions of signatures, building strong international pressure to advance the pardon process.
- Strengthen AssangeDAO’s global influence and attract new supporters.
- Leverage blockchain technology to ensure the petition’s transparency and credibility, boosting public trust.
