+# VApp Idea Submission
+
+## Project Name
+Decentralized Voting dApp
+
+## Category
+social
+
+## Description
+A decentralized voting application built on top of the **Soundness layer**.  
+This dApp allows users to create polls, vote anonymously, and verify the results using **zero-knowledge proofs generated via Soundness CLI**.  
+
+The goal is to showcase how the Soundness layer can guarantee **fairness, privacy, and proof-verifiability** in online decision-making systems.
+
+## Features
+- [ ] Create and manage polls with multiple choices  
+- [ ] Anonymous voting secured by Soundness proof system  
+- [ ] On-chain verifiable results using blob IDs from Soundness  
+- [ ] Web interface for easy interaction (React + Tailwind)  
+- [ ] CLI integration for developers who want to test voting via **Soundness CLI**  
+
+## Motivation
+Voting systems are often questioned for their **transparency and fairness**.  
+By integrating the **Soundness proof system**, this VApp will demonstrate how trust can be established without revealing sensitive user data.  
+
+It will also serve as a **demo project** for other developers in the community who want to learn how to integrate Soundness proofs into real-world applications.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- Frontend: React + Tailwind  
+- Backend: Node.js / Express  
+- Smart Contracts: Solidity (optional, for on-chain poll registry)  
+- **Soundness CLI & SDK** for generating and verifying proofs  
+
+## Example Flow
+1. User creates a poll → poll details stored on-chain or backend DB.  
+2. Voter casts a vote → proof generated using **Soundness CLI**.  
+3. Proof + blob ID submitted → stored and verifiable by anyone.  
+4. Results tally → verified via Soundness layer to ensure correctness.
