Snapshot operates through three main elements: spaces, proposals, and votes. Each proposal and vote is associated with a specific space, representing an organization's profile.
To create a space on Snapshot, you'll need an ENS domain. This is the only requirement from Snapshot's side to establish a space.
Once a space is set up, users can create proposals within that space and participate in voting. Space admins can define the rules for proposal creation and voting by configuring voting and validation strategies.
For instance, space admins can specify that only users holding a minimum of 10,000 tokens are eligible to create new proposals. Additionally, the voting power of users is determined proportionally based on the balance of the specified token in their wallet.
