## Description

Snapshot is a decentralized governance platform that enables DAOs and organizations to create and manage onchain voting systems. It supports both offchain signing and onchain execution, allowing votes to be submitted as signed messages to reduce gas costs while maintaining verifiability through onchain proposal execution on Ethereum and Starknet. The platform provides a modular strategy plugin system for voting power calculation and proposal validation, along with hierarchical space and role management for multi-tier governance structures.

Snapshot distinguishes itself through several advanced governance capabilities. It offers storage-proof cross-chain voting that verifies Ethereum contract state on Starknet using Merkle proofs, enabling voting power calculation without full blockchain access. The platform includes threshold-encrypted shielded voting that keeps voter choices private during the voting period and reveals results only after proposals close. A multisig execution bridge connects governance spaces to Gnosis Safe wallets for automatic onchain execution of approved proposals, while alias wallet authorization creates lightweight signer wallets for automated governance actions without exposing main wallet private keys.

The platform supports a comprehensive range of voting systems including single-choice, approval, quadratic, ranked-choice, and weighted voting. It provides gasless voting by funding dedicated wallets with gas tokens, and offers delegation systems that work with smart contracts and storage proofs. Snapshot includes real-time governance notifications across Discord, Telegram, webhooks, and other platforms, along with role-based access control for space management. The platform is accessible through a public GraphQL API, a JavaScript client library, and subgraph indexing on The Graph for flexible data querying and integration with external tools.
