Online polls are easy to rig. An admin can stuff the ballot. Bots vote. The same person votes twice under different accounts. And when the result looks wrong, there is no way to prove it either way.

Polly fixes this.

We built Polly for communities that actually care about the outcome of their votes; DAOs, online groups, fan communities, project teams, organisations. Places where a poll result is supposed to mean something, not just reflect whoever gamed it hardest.

Here is what makes Polly different. Every voter signs in with an account they already have Discord, X, or Google. No wallets. No new sign-ups. No friction. Before they can even vote, they have to be a verified member of the community running the poll. The admin creates a community, shares an invite link, and only people who join through that link and authenticate with their social account are recognised as members. When a poll goes live, only those members can register and vote.

Once a vote is cast, a unique cryptographic hash is generated from the voter’s identity and sent to the Polygon blockchain. Nobody, not the poll creator, not us can change that result after the fact. The outcome is permanent and publicly verifiable by anyone with the transaction hash.

Polly was built by Tochi, a developer from Port Harcourt, Nigeria. It started as a solution to a real problem communities making decisions that didn’t feel legitimate because the platforms they used were too easy to manipulate. The goal was to build something that felt simple enough for anyone to use but was structurally impossible to cheat.
