This is the official discussion thread for RPIP: On-Chain Signal Voting. There is a research discussion thread on Discord.
In 2025, Snapshot introduced Snapshot Pro, which costs $600/month and gives access to premium features. Included in that is access to the voting strategy Rocket Pool uses, because the delegation with override logic is computation-heavy.
This RPIP provides the on-chain basis for a signal voting system that can remove the Snapshot dependency in the future.
We also looked at how the Snapshot voting strategy could be adjusted to avoid the need for Snapshot Pro. Delegation without override appears to be sufficient for that. But we have no guarantee that Snapshot won’t change the rules in the future, and some view the ability to override as fundamental to our governance.
