Snapshot is a decentralized voting platform primarily used by decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and other entities to facilitate governance decisions. It allows token holders to vote on proposals without spending gas fees. Let's address your questions based on the general functionality of Snapshot as of my last update:
- Can multiple people add options to polls on Snapshot? Typically, the ability for others to add options to a poll depends on how the poll is configured by the creator. In most standard use cases, the poll creator sets the options when they create the poll, and only those options are available for voting. However, some governance frameworks or custom implementations might allow for a more dynamic approach where additional options can be added after the poll's creation, but this would be less common and would depend on the specific settings of the Snapshot space being used.
- Can you withdraw votes on Snapshot? Once a vote is cast on Snapshot, it is generally considered final and cannot be withdrawn. This is because Snapshot records the vote at a specific block height on the blockchain, reflecting the voting power of the participants at that moment. Changing a vote would require a new transaction before the voting period closes, but typically, platforms like Snapshot do not allow vote changes to maintain integrity and finality in the decision-making process.
- Can you write comments on Snapshot polls? As of my last update, Snapshot itself does not directly support commenting on polls within its platform. The focus of Snapshot is on the voting mechanism. However, communities often use other platforms in conjunction with Snapshot for discussions, such as forums, Discord, or Telegram, where members can discuss proposals, polls, and governance decisions. Some governance proposals might link to these discussions or have embedded discussions from other platforms.
Snapshot is an evolving platform, and features can change. For the most current information, checking directly with Snapshot's documentation or support channels would provide the most up-to-date details.
Can a subspace in snapshot have a subspace inside of it? Can polls in a subspace be sorted to show the polls with the most votes at the top of the subspace? Can polls in a subspace be configured to use weighted voting and spread out across all polls in a subspace?
Snapshot's platform for governance voting has a flexible structure that supports various configurations for DAOs and other decentralized communities. Let's explore your questions with the context as of my last update:
- Can a subspace in Snapshot have a subspace inside of it?
- As of my last update, Snapshot spaces (sometimes informally referred to as "subspaces") are designed to represent individual communities, projects, or DAOs. Each space is essentially a standalone entity for governance purposes, and the structure of Snapshot does not inherently support a hierarchical organization of spaces within spaces (subspaces within subspaces) in the traditional sense. Communities looking for more granular governance structures typically manage this through separate, distinct spaces or by organizing polls and proposals in a way that reflects different governance layers or categories.
- Can polls in a subspace be sorted to show the polls with the most votes at the top of the subspace?
- The interface and features of Snapshot can vary depending on the updates and customizations made by the Snapshot team or by the space administrators. Typically, Snapshot provides several sorting and filtering options for viewing proposals, such as by end date or creation date. Sorting polls by the number of votes directly within the Snapshot UI may not be a standard feature. However, the flexibility of the platform and the use of external tools or interfaces could potentially allow communities to customize how they display and sort polls, including by popularity or votes, if there's sufficient technical support to implement such features.
- Can polls in a subspace be configured to use weighted voting and spread out across all polls in a subspace?
- Snapshot supports weighted voting, where the weight of a vote is determined by the number of tokens or the specific type of tokens a voter holds. This weighting mechanism is a core feature for enabling decentralized governance. The configuration for weighted voting is typically set at the space level, meaning that all polls within a space follow the rules defined for that space. This includes how voting power is calculated, such as through token holdings, staking, or other criteria. If a space decides that voting power should be spread out or allocated in a specific way across multiple polls, this would likely require custom logic or governance rules set by the community. The standard Snapshot functionality focuses on the voting power per poll based on the snapshot (block height) at the time the vote is cast.
Snapshot's capabilities and the ways communities can use it continue to evolve, so I recommend checking the latest Snapshot documentation or contacting their support for the most current information.

The Snapshot documentation I found doesn't specifically address whether multiple people can add options to polls, withdraw votes, or write comments directly on Snapshot polls. Generally, Snapshot's configuration focuses on voting strategies and proposal validation strategies to ensure governance integrity and minimize the risk of malicious proposals. It allows space creators to define who can vote or create proposals and calculates voting power based on token holdings or other criteria. For the most detailed and current functionalities regarding adding options, withdrawing votes, or commenting on polls, it's best to refer directly to Snapshot's official documentation or support channels.

Snapshot allows for the creation of sub-spaces within a main space, enabling a hierarchical organization structure within the platform. To establish this relationship, a sub-space must first be created similarly to a standard space. Once set up, its linked ENS domain name is entered into the main space's settings, effectively connecting the two. This setup requires configuration in both the main space and the sub-space settings, indicating a designed capability for nested organizational structures within Snapshot.
Regarding the customization of polls, Snapshot's flexibility extends to the configuration of voting strategies, which directly influence how polls operate within a space or sub-space. Each space can define up to eight voting strategies that determine the calculation of users' voting power. This system allows for a wide range of voting configurations, including weighted voting, where the amount of tokens held by a user determines their voting power. These strategies can be tailored to the specific needs of a space, suggesting that while direct sorting of polls by the number of votes or spreading voting power across all polls isn't explicitly mentioned, the platform's strategic setup offers significant customizability in how voting influence is calculated and potentially distributed.
Snapshot's proposal creation mechanism further elaborates on the voting process, allowing for the selection of a specific voting system for each proposal. This flexibility indicates that while the platform has predefined voting strategies, the application of these strategies to individual proposals is customizable. The ability to select different voting systems for each proposal suggests that organizers have control over how voting power is calculated and applied on a per-proposal basis, which could indirectly address the distribution of voting power across different polls within a sub-space.
For the most current and detailed instructions on configuring these features, visiting Snapshot's official documentation is recommended.
Can you take snapshots of a particular subspace on a weekly basis?

The Snapshot documentation and FAQs do not specifically address the feature of taking weekly snapshots of a subspace. Snapshot's functionality focuses on voting mechanisms, proposal creation, and the calculation of voting power based on predefined strategies. For detailed functionalities or to explore advanced features such as automated snapshots or periodic reviews of subspaces, it's recommended to consult the official Snapshot documentation or reach out to their support for the most accurate and updated information.
