How can I access Snapshot if the main site is down?

Snapshot maintains several mirror sites to ensure you can always access the platform, regardless of individual hosting issues.

Primary domain

Alternative mirrors

If the main site is unavailable, use any of these backup options:

All mirrors display identical content, your votes, proposals, and data remain synchronized across every domain.

Self-hosting Snapshot

You can also host Snapshot yourself or run it locally. The full source code is open-source and available here: https://github.com/snapshot-labs/sx-monorepo

Why multiple domains?

Snapshot leverages diverse hosting infrastructure, including traditional providers and decentralized IPFS, to maximize uptime and resilience. If any single hosting provider experiences downtime, you can seamlessly switch to an alternative mirror without losing access to your governance activities.
