# Create a space {% hint style="danger" %} If you already have a space without ENS domain (legacy), you need to [Migrate your space to ENS](https://docs.snapshot.page/spaces/migrate). {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} If you want to use Snapshot in a demo mode to experiment with the platform head to - our playground connected to the Goerli Testnet. Make sure to provide an ENS name registered on Goerli Testnet in the first step below. {% endhint %} ### 1. Set or get an ENS domain for your space Tap the plus **`+`** button in the left sidebar to create a new space. ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-55e282f74a234ba64c20d25484c649fab6f65ae4%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-11%20a%CC%80%2012.30.46.png?alt=media) If you already own an ENS domain, make sure you are connected to [snapshot.org](https://snapshot.org/#/setup) with the **Ethereum address** that is set as **controller of your ENS name** (if you are confused about the difference between ENS Registrant and Controller, have a read [here](https://docs.ens.domains/permanent-registrar-faq#what-is-the-registrant-and-controller-of-a-name)). If the above condition is met, your ENS name will appear. To confirm it's correct, click on it.\ \\ {% hint style="info" %} If you **don't own an ENS domain** you will have to register one.\ \ Enter a name that suits the needs of your DAO in the `register a new domain` field and click `Register.` You can then follow [ens-domain](https://docs.snapshot.box/user-guides/spaces/create/ens-domain "mention") and come back here for step 2 once domain has been registered. {% endhint %} ### 3. Create your profile To complete the profile of your space you have to enter a name for your DAO (mandatory) and can add further optional information like a description, avatar, categories describing the field that your DAO is operating in and more. You can add or update this information after you have finished creating the space. ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5bae6bbb5efda18cee029c476bdb80861d3d172d%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-11%20a%CC%80%2012.53.39.png?alt=media) ### **4. Set your very first strategy** Your space can combine up to 8 voting strategies which will be responsible for calculating the users' voting power. The setting affects all proposals that will be created for that space. {% hint style="info" %} If you would like to differentiate the calculation of users' voting power between proposals you will have to create a sub-space. Head to [sub-spaces](https://docs.snapshot.box/user-guides/spaces/sub-spaces "mention") to learn more. {% endhint %} For the initial setup you have to choose one of the three following strategy types to then specify the strategy details: ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1ee792ced9541ffbc70250bd190b8d9f9cd16cc1%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-11%20a%CC%80%2012.33.32.png?alt=media) ### Voting strategies types Let's have a look at each of the possible options and see how you can specify the strategy details. {% hint style="info" %} Each strategy is taking into account the assets that belong to the voting address **at the time of proposal creation**, not at the time of voting. {% endhint %} #### Token weighted voting Voting power is weighted by the amount of the token held by the user. The token can be an ERC-20, ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token standard. 1. Select your token network 2. Select your token standard 3. Enter your token contract address
#### One person, one vote This option can be used in two different ways: * **Whitelist voting** lets you specify a list of addresses that will be able to vote * **Ticket voting** will let any wallet vote (option used mostly for testing purposes) ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-64e0d24ebf962cb6c928cef2b8686e087f57658e%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-11%20a%CC%80%2013.24.40.png?alt=media) #### Custom setup If you feel ready to dive deeper into the custom setup here are a few hints that you may find useful: * You can select up to 8 different strategies. Voting power is cumulative. * Network can be selected individually for each strategy. This way you can leverage multi-chain voting power calculation. * It is possible to set a different symbol for each strategy. They will be displayed on the proposal page. * You can write a custom voting strategy if the existing ones are the sufficient for your needs. Have a look at [voting-strategy](https://docs.snapshot.box/developer-guides/voting-strategy "mention") to learn more. \ At the time of writing this article there are around 415 Snapshot voting strategies and this number keeps growing.

Make sure that members specified in authors field are allowed to submit a proposal. {% hint style="info" %} You can add between 1 and 100 addresses. Each line should be an individual address - do not list multiple addresses in on line with any characters like commas, dots or semicolons. {% endhint %} ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f162a4a278fa7b5cb3c837b3a18fd4ab728cba21%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-12%20a%CC%80%2013.53.21.png?alt=media) ## Your space is live ! ![](https://545909647-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MG4Ulnnabb2Xz3Lei9_%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3adb691dcc8a00b2dd140978cb4e75e7901f8312%2FCapture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202022-08-12%20a%CC%80%2013.53.39.png?alt=media) ### What else can I customize? {% content-ref url="add-custom-domain" %} [add-custom-domain](https://docs.snapshot.box/user-guides/spaces/add-custom-domain) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="add-skin" %} [add-skin](https://docs.snapshot.box/user-guides/spaces/add-skin) {% endcontent-ref %}
