# Snapshot

Everything you need to know about Snapshot!

## Overview

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 malicious users moving their tokens to vote multiple times or someone using a flash loan to borrow a ton of voting power.&#x20;

## Eligibility/How to Vote

In order to be eligible to vote on proposals, you need to adhere to the following:

* Hold the veDFX token.\
  \[`Prior to the vote being published on snapshot]`

When a vote is live and ready to be voted on, click on the proposal on the [DFX Snapshot page](https://snapshot.org/#/dfx.eth), scroll to the voting section, and cast your vote. Since the votes are done off-chain, you will not be charged whenever confirming your vote tx.
