Snapshot Voting Module

Status: V1 Implementation

The Snapshot Voting Module is a modern, integrity focused approach to voting. In many DAOs, the simple act of using token balances to determine voting power can lead to vulnerabilities. For example, malicious actors might buy large quantities of tokens immediately before a vote and then sell them afterward, manipulating the outcome without having a long term stake in the DAO.

The Snapshot Voting Module tackles this problem head on. Instead of relying on a single, predictable moment in time to measure voting power, it takes randomized snapshots of token balances at unexpected intervals. By doing so, it ensures that voting power more accurately reflects committed, long term participants rather than opportunistic speculators.

Key Benefits:

Integrity: Random snapshots neutralize the incentive for “pump and dump” voting tactics. This ensures that the DAO’s governance decisions are shaped by genuine stakeholders who have demonstrated ongoing involvement rather than short-term profiteers.

Customization: Every DAO operates differently. With the Snapshot Voting Module, you can adjust parameters like voting thresholds, duration, and quorum requirements. Whether you need tight thresholds for high stakes decisions or more lenient parameters for inclusive participation, the module can be tailored to match the DAO’s ethos.

Transparency & Verifiability: The entire voting process, proposal creation, snapshot capturing, vote tallying, happens on-chain. This guarantees immutability, enabling all members to verify that votes are calculated fairly and no tampering has occurred. This level of transparency builds trust and strengthens the DAO’s governance culture.
