Step 2: Confirm the connection when prompted by your wallet. For this example we are using Metamask. Hit Next and then Connect.

Step 3: Use the search function on Snapshot to find GaiaDAO.

Step 4: Click on GaiaDAO and you will be taken to our voting page. Look for any active votes to participate in and simply click on one to open it up.

Step 5: On the voting screen you will be able to choose from the available options for that particular vote. Make your selection and hit Vote.

You will then see this screen asking you to confirm your choice. Click on the blue Vote button if you are happy with your choice.

Step 6: Your wallet will prompt you to sign and finalise the transaction. Finally, hit Sign in your wallet and you are done! (Voting is 100% free, so there is no gas charge at all).

Congratulations! You have now used your $GAIA to vote!

Some extras

You can see the progress of the vote by scrolling down to the bottom of the voting page. Here you can see how many people have voted and how many tokens their Vote was worth.
