On-chain voting dApp on Solana using PDAs for polls and candidates, with an Anchor program and a leftover vault-template frontend.

Voting program has tests, but the frontend still runs the vault template it forked.

Verdict

This is a Solana voting dApp forked from the solana-foundation vault starter, with a genuinely custom Anchor program (initialize_poll, initialize_candidate, vote) and a real LiteSVM test suite covering duplicate IDs and description limits. But the frontend was never updated: app/page.tsx still calls the original vault client, so the shipped product doesn't actually let anyone vote, and the README still documents an 'Anchor Vault Program' deposit/withdraw flow README and frontend still describe/call the original vault template, not the voting program. Momentum is essentially zero: 7 commits, 1 contributor, a 2-day window, 0 stars GitHub metadata: 7 commits, 1 contributor, 2-day span, 0 stars. Against the corpus, no close match exists: the nearest vault-flavored project, CipherVault, sits at only 0.055 similarity , and the nearest voting-specific analogs, Mint A Vote and Syncvote , are dead-linked and mechanically different. The winners-only cohort's top primitives skew stablecoins, payments, and oracle, not governance Winners-only cohort primitive distribution: stablecoins 13.8%, payments 12.9%, oracle 12.9%, no governance/voting tag in top 10, so this repo swims against the current. Strongest asset: the program-level test coverage. Weakest: momentum, at 8/100. Next move: wire the frontend to the actual voting instructions and ship a working end-to-end demo before resubmitting.

Winner DNA

  • Solana-native Anchor/Rust program: present

    Custom voting program built with Anchor and Rust, matching the 26.2%/40% cohort share for these stacks.

  • Frontend wired end-to-end to the on-chain program: missing

    app/page.tsx and the generated client still call the original vault instructions, not the voting program.

  • Domain alignment with top winning primitives (stablecoins, payments, oracle): missing

    Voting/governance does not appear in the cohort's top 10 primitive tags.

  • Sustained, multi-contributor commit history: missing

    Only 7 commits from 1 contributor across a 2-day window.

  • External traction or hackathon placement: missing

    0 stars, no track prize, no placement found in either search.

  • Real automated test coverage of core program logic: present

    LiteSVM tests validate poll creation, duplicate IDs, and description-length limits.
