Snapshot is a platform for off-chain, gasless signaling on proposals, and it is widely used by popular decentralized finance projects to open protocol governance decisions to their community. The platform weights votes by the amount of a given token a participating wallet address holds.
On Snapshot, there is a GnosisDAO (GNO) Snapshot space, which is where Phase 3 proposals to GnosisDAO will have a corresponding poll.
Create a GnosisDAO Snapshot poll for a GIP
To signal in a GnosisDAO Snapshot poll, navigate to the GnosisDAO space on Snapshot: https://snapshot.page/#/gnosis, and connect your wallet (or your delegated wallet).
After you’ve connected your wallet, click the button to create a New Proposal. Important: For the final step in creating a GnosisDAO Snapshot poll, make sure you’re in touch with a GnosisDAO Admin forum moderator to obtain the Gnosis Impact conditionID. In the future, this step will be more user friendly, so that participants can easily do this on their own.
To create a valid GnosisDAO Snapshot poll for a GnosisDAO proposal:
- Copy the GIP title from the Gnosis Forum post into the
Questionfield - Copy the GIP text from the Gnosis Forum post into the
What is your proposal?field - Add a link to the GIP forum post at the top of the proposal text
- Enter the refined list of poll outcomes in the

Configuring Gnosis Impact
- Finally, add the Gnosis Impact plugin by clicking the ✨ icon in the
Actionsbox:
This will open a popup with the choice to add the Gnosis Impact plugin:
Click Add. This will prompt you to add the details for the two Omen Prediction Markets corresponding to the proposal, which include details such as conditionID, Base token address, and Quote currency address. Please reach out to a GnosisDAO Admin forum moderator for assistance in obtaining these details.
The Gnosis Impact app uses the two prediction market prices to calculate the expected price impact on GNO of the proposal’s outcome. Once entered correctly, it should display like below on the right side of the GnosisDAO Snapshot poll when published:
Once you’ve included the Gnosis Impact plugin, click Publish.
Important: To make your proposal in Phase 3 nearly complete, return to the corresponding GIP post and add the link to this poll to the GnosisDAO Snapshot field at the bottom of the template.
Signal on GnosisDAO Snapshot poll for a GIP
To signal in a GnosisDAO Snapshot poll, you must hold a minimum of 1 GNO at the proposal’s specified block number¹. Your Snapshot signal will be weighted proportionally according to the amount of GNO held in your participating wallet address at that block time.
Navigate to the Gnosis space on Snapshot: https://snapshot.page/#/gnosis, and connect your wallet holding GNO (or your delegated wallet).
After you’ve connected your wallet, either navigate to the GnosisDAO Snapshot poll linked in the GIP post, or navigate to https://snapshot.page/#/gnosis/active and find the corresponding poll in the list of active proposals. Under Cast your vote, choose your favored outcome, and click Vote.
