To help integrators track and identify activity originating from their applications, Snapshot supports an optional app parameter. This parameter can be included when users cast votes or create proposals, allowing you to tag these actions with your application’s identifier.

​
Using app with Snapshot.js

If you’re integrating Snapshot’s voting and proposal functionalities directly into your platform using Snapshot.js, you can include the app parameter in your function calls: 
import { Web3Provider } from '@ethersproject/providers';

const web3 = new Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
const [account] = await web3.listAccounts();

const receipt = await client.vote(web3, account, {
  space: 'yam.eth',
  proposal: '0x21ea31e896ec5b5a49a3653e51e787ee834aaf953263144ab936ed756f36609f',
  type: 'single-choice',
  choice: 1,
  reason: 'Choice 1 makes a lot of sense',
  app: 'yourappname'
});

​
Adding app to Snapshot URLs

For platforms that redirect users to Snapshot, you can append the app parameter to the URL. This tags the action with your application’s identifier when the user interacts on Snapshot. URL format: 
https://snapshot.box/#/{network}:{space}/proposal/{proposalId}?app={yourappname}
Example: 
https://snapshot.box/#/s:ens.eth/proposal/0xfa54ff2b55f0495c96ec2d8645241bcff48ca6afe1f4925fb51f29c4667252df?app=boardroom
Parameter requirements
  • Format: Lowercase alphanumeric string
  • Maximum length: 24 characters
  • Purpose: The app parameter will be stored with the vote or proposal data on Snapshot. This enables you to identify and analyze activities originating from your application.
By using the app parameter, you can seamlessly integrate Snapshot into your platform while maintaining clear visibility over user interactions related to your application.
