Polls

The PollSDK and PollFactorySDK manage on-chain community polls. Unlike DAO proposals (which execute on-chain actions), polls are for community sentiment and signaling.

Initialization

import { PollSDK, PollFactorySDK } from '@akta/sdk/poll'

const pollFactory = new PollFactorySDK({ algorand })

// Interact with an existing poll
const poll = new PollSDK({
  algorand,
  factoryParams: { appId: pollAppId },
})

Creating a Poll

const poll = await pollFactory.new({
  type: PollTypeEnum.SingleChoice,
  question: 'What feature should we build next?',
  options: ['Staking V2', 'NFT Marketplace', 'Social Platform'],
  maxSelected: 1n,
  endTime: BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 604800), // 7 days
  gateId: 0n,                   // No gate
})

Key Features

• Factory pattern — Create polls on demand
• Multiple options — Configure any number of voting options
• Time-limited — Polls have configurable duration
• Gate integration — Polls can be gated (e.g., only stakers can vote)
• Poll Gate — A subgate that checks poll voting status

Poll voting through a wallet uses the PollPlugin. See Wallet Plugins.
