Overview
Snapshot is an off-chain, easy to use, gasless governance client with easy to verify and hard to contest results.
Snapshot derives its name from taking a "snapshot" of the Ethereum blockchain at a certain block number before voting opens. By having a fixed point in time, this eliminates the need to worry about moving tokens voting multiple times or someone using a flash loan to borrow a ton of voting power.
Eligibility/How to Vote
In order to be eligible to vote on Archimedes DAO proposals, you need to satisfy at least one of the following:
- Hold 1 veARCH token
- Have someone delegate their voting power to your address
When a vote opens, click on the proposal in the Archimedes Finance Space on Snapshot, scroll to the voting section, and cast your vote. Your wallet provider will ask you to sign a message don't worry, you won't be charged any gas and your veARCH will not leave your wallet.
