We are excited to announce that you can now natively vote on Snapshot proposals using Safe.

Security best practices dictate that assets of significant value should be stored in a multisig wallet. In this regard, Safe has become the industry standard on Ethereum, ensuring the highest level of security for DAOs and organisations.

Meanwhile, Snapshot has established itself as the most widely adopted gas-less voting mechanism on Ethereum, empowering a diverse range of communities to govern efficiently.

The Challenge

For those holding governance tokens in a Safe, voting has historically been a logistical challenge. Users must:

• Connect a signing wallet

• Access a desktop device

• Load a Snapshot-compatible interface within Safe

• Coordinate across multiple time zones and communication channels

These barriers have made governance participation cumbersome, leading to lower engagement and inefficiencies in decision-making.

Safe DAO and OBRA

Safe DAO runs a program called OBRA, which funds development across various strategic tracks. One of these, “Strategy 5: Increase Governance Participation,” aims to increase the governance participation in SafeDAO.Given Safe conducts its Governance with Snapshot. We explored how users who store their governance tokens in a Safe can vote using an alternate mobile interface.

Thus increasing the diversity of clients where members can choose how to participate and stay informed.

Lighthouse: Bringing Native Safe Voting to Snapshot

At Lighthouse, we recognised this gap and have built a solution that makes it simple and intuitive to vote on Snapshot proposals with a Safe.

We’re excited to say this feature is now Generally Available to all users. Big thanks to the Safe community for giving a new provider the chance to prove ourselves.

The Best Mobile Voting Experience for EVM Governance

The Lighthouse Governance app delivers best-in-class voting for EVM-based governance systems on both iOS and Android. We support Snapshot and Governor frameworks, making it the most convenient way to vote on mobile, whether you hold governance tokens in an EOA or a Safe.

As the first native app offering Safe voting on Snapshot, we are pioneering a new era of on-chain governance accessibility.

Next — we are exploring bringing this for Governor flavoured contracts. If you can help with funding features likes this or have feedback for us please get in touch!
