People Also Ask

What is a snapshot in crypto?

A snapshot is a record of who holds which tokens or NFTs at a specific block, used to decide who qualifies for airdrops, allowlists or votes.

Why do I need my NFT in my wallet for a snapshot?

Because the snapshot reads on-chain ownership at that moment; if your asset is sitting on an exchange it may not count toward the reward.

Is a snapshot the same as the Snapshot governance tool?

Related but not identical — the general term means a block-height ownership record, while Snapshot is also a specific off-chain voting platform.
