Native voting with Safe on Snapshot
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.
