# Alternative way to create a space

If you do not want to have the wallet control your settings, you can follow the steps below to create a space on Snapshot.

### Drawbacks

* You will not be able to change settings from the UI
* Every time you want to change the settings, you will need to broadcast a new transaction

### How to create a space

* Create a JSON file for your settings on Snapshot. The format of the JSON file could be as follows: [https://github.com/snapshot-labs/snapshot.js/blob/master/test/examples/space.json](https://github.com/snapshot-labs/snapshot.js/blob/master/test/examples/space.json)
* Store the JSON file on IPFS
* Use the IPFS link on the ENS text record. This will make the ENS owner the only controller of the settings.

* You can check if your space is valid from the GitHub link below [https://github.com/snapshot-labs/snapshot.js/blob/a0adc547aa0922aa6abd35708a4a292048bca6a2/test/schema.ts#L4](https://github.com/snapshot-labs/snapshot.js/blob/a0adc547aa0922aa6abd35708a4a292048bca6a2/test/schema.ts#L4)
* Once the above transaction is successful, go to the below link to update the space in Snapshot:
