Promote with Leviathan NewsThe latest monthly SQUID DAO Snapshot vote has been opened in the leviathannews.eth Snapshot space, allowing SQUID DAO participants to vote on governance matters off‑chain through Snapshot’s gasless voting system. The proposal is being run via snapshot.box, an alternative front-end to the Snapshot protocol that lists active spaces and proposals across DAOs, with the voting window specified as open “from now until Friday” in the announcement. SQUID DAO is a community aligned with Leviathan News that has built its own governance tooling, including a custom “squid-dao-vote-calculator” smart contract designed to compute voting power across nine different token sources (“tentacles”), exceeding Snapshot’s typical eight-token strategy limit. This suggests the Snapshot proposal likely relies on a multi-token, cross-source weighting model for votes, making accurate calculation of voting power important for participants. More broadly, Snapshot is widely used across DAOs as an off‑chain, gasless voting platform where token balances at a predefined “snapshot” block determine voting power, and proposals are ratified socially or via follow‑on on‑chain actions. The recurring monthly vote indicates SQUID DAO is using this infrastructure for ongoing operational or budget decisions, contributor recognition, or other regular community governance processes. Because the vote is hosted on Snapshot, it uses token-based governance where holders or delegates can choose among proposal options according to rules defined in the proposal’s strategy (for example, single choice, approval voting, or other supported mechanisms). For Leviathan News and SQUID DAO participants, these monthly Snapshot proposals matter as the primary formal channel to signal preferences on how the project’s resources, incentives, or roadmap are managed, and they exemplify the broader trend of DAOs using off‑chain governance with custom strategy contracts to balance flexibility and security in decision-making.
