**Submission** : Cross-Chain Catalysts Proposal (Deployment Grant): ShadowVote by Stakely

**ShadowVote** is a lightweight, privacy-first voting app for Arbitrum DAOs with a simple user interface. It uses Aztec to keep individual votes fully private and Wormhole to bridge proposals and results. By hiding how members vote it helps prevent influence, coercion, and vote buying, making DAO governance fairer and more secure.
