# Snapshot

## Overview

<img src="/files/0FC0NvBxCw5os2zMqPao" alt="" data-size="line"> [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/) is an off-chain gasless multi-governance client with easy to verify and hard to contest results.

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.
