How to Vote in RNPs

Voting in RNPs leverages Nation for RENDER SPL Token voting and previously has used Snapshot for RNDR ERC-20 Voting.

RENDER SPL Voting Using Nation

With the Solana Upgrade, the Render Network Foundation is introducing a new Solana voting system for the RNP process, enabling community members who have upgraded to RENDER SPL tokens to participate in network governance.

What is this and how does it work?

The new Solana voting system on Nation.io functions in a similar way to the Snapshot voting system the network has used for prior RNP votes. The Render Network voting page on Nation can be found at https://nation.io/a/RenderNetwork. As with Snapshot, when a vote is available on Nation, the Render Network team will message a Nation link to the voting proposal. Connecting to this link will prompt Nation to connect with your Phantom or other Solana compliant wallet.

Like Snapshot, Nation calculates voting power by taking a snap of the blockchain at the time of proposal creation, determining how much voting power (aka tokens) a user has at the time of proposal creation.

Please Note: for all users, this is the ONLY OFFICIAL Nation voting page for the Render Network. Any other pages purporting to be the Render Network are fraudulent and should not be connected to under any circumstances.

SPL Voting

When you enter the voting page, Nation will prompt your Phantom wallet to connect to the Nation vote. Simply approve the connection and you will be able to vote on that current proposal.

Click on your desired voting choice, sign the subsequent transaction, and your vote will be cast.

ERC-20 RNDR Voting Using Snapshot

Please Note: ERC-20 RNDR Voting has been disable as of RNP-019, and now Render Network Governance takes place with RENDER SPL voting exclusively.

First go to Snapshot.org. On the home page you should see a button in the top right hand corner of the page labeled “connect your wallet”. Click the button to begin sign-up.

A window should pop up with multiple wallet connection options.

Please pick the wallet option that matches the wallet that you have that contains your RNDR Tokens.

For Metamask users, which would be the majority of Render Network creators, click on the option that says “WalletConnect”. An additional prompt will appear, where you will be able to select Metamask as an option. For Ledger hardware wallet users, you will do the same steps as well.

Once you have selected your wallet option, you should be prompted in a pop up window to connect your wallet through a simple signature.

Once you have signed off on the connection, your account will be created on Snapshot.

To vote in a Render Network Community vote, simply go to the Render Network Snapshot page, where you will see Active, Closed and Pending votes.

To participate in an Active vote, simply click on the vote you would like to participate in. You will then be taken to the vote page, where all voting options will be displayed.

Once you have selected your option, press vote. A popup window will appear, displaying your choice, the Snapshot vote # and the amount of RNDR you have available to cast as voting power.

If all is correct, confirm your choice by clicking “Vote”. A signature window will appear to confirm your vote choice, and once you have signed your vote will be confirmed!
