Using Safe multi-sig

Learn how you can use Snapshot with a Gnosis Safe Multi-sig wallet.

You can use a Gnosis Safe to vote, create a proposal or setup a space on Snapshot.

Your Safe has to be on the same network as the Space is. Head to Space settings, Strategies tab to check the Space's network.

Spaces can be created and updated only by Ethereum Mainnet accounts.

Voting and proposals are accepted from Space's network only.

Signing with your Safe

There are two ways to sign with your Safe multi-sig wallet on Snapshot:

1. Synchronous signing (offchain) - you keep the confirmation modal open until all Safe signers confirm the transaction.

2. Asynchronous signing (onchain) - you can close the confirmation modal and the transaction will be created in your Safe transactions queue. The Safe signers can confirm it later.

For more information, refer to the Gnosis Safe documentation.

Synchronous signing

By default, the first signer who is signing a message will have to keep the confirmation modal open until all other signers confirm the message.

This happens offchain and does not create a transaction in your Safe transactions queue. but in messages tab of your Safe. Other signers need to confirm the message in their Safe interface.

Asynchronous signing

If you'd like to enable asynchronous signing for all Safe's signers and not have to keep the modal open, you have to enable on-chain signatures in the Safe settings.\

1. Go to Safe Settings -> Safe Apps.

2. Enable Always use on-chain signatures

That's all 🎉 Signers can now sign even if you you close the confirmation modal.

It will create a pending transaction in your Safe transactions queue. This transaction must be confirmed by the Safe signers within 144 hours.
