# Snapshot

## What is a snapshot? 

From the Snapshot Docs:

> Snapshot is a decentralized voting system. It provides flexibility on how voting power is calculated for a vote. Snapshot supports various voting types to cater to the needs of organizations. Creating proposals and voting on Snapshot is user-friendly and does not cost gas as the process is performed off-chain.
>
> In short, Snapshot is an off-chain gasless multi-governance client with easy to verify and hard to contest results.

You can easily set up Snapshot voting with a Snowcone project token by using the strategies below. Make sure you follow the TODO notes, and delete the notes once you do. If you need help customizing your parameters, send a message in the Snowcone Discord.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://snowconedao.gitbook.io/snowconedao/create/governance-resources/snapshot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
