Snapshot is focused on off-chain voting and governance discussions, whereas Tally focuses on on-chain governance that can be directly implemented through the blockchain. Tally’s trustless, transparent implementation of on-chain decisions via smart contracts differs from Snapshot as a governance discussion platform. Tally also has greater protocol-level integrations (i.e., Arbitrum, Uniswap, ZKsync) than does Snapshot.
Choose Tally for on-chain governance execution, and choose Snapshot for off-chain governance discussion and signaling.
Both provide DAO governance platforms, however Tally is built upon battle-tested OpenZeppelin Governor contracts, whereas Aragon utilizes it’s own framework. Additionally, Tally provides superior multi-chain support across 10+ networks, while Aragon is limited by the number of chains it supports. Tally’s Relay feature for gasless transactions and the liquid staking feature of the Tally Protocol are two significant advantages over Aragon.
Choose Tally if you have a multi-chain DAO requiring enterprise-grade features; choose Aragon for simpler, single-chain governance implementations.
Gnosis Safe is specifically focused on multi-sig treasury management and wallet operations, whereas Tally is focused on DAO voting and proposal governance. While Tally offers more sophisticated governance models through their council elections, optimistic governance, and custodian integrations, Gnosis Safe has additional treasury security features.
Governance decision-making will be done using Tally; Treasury operations and multi-sig controls will be handled through Gnosis Safe.
Commonwealth offers community governance discussion and on-chain voting capabilities, however Tally has greater levels of direct integration with major protocols (Arbitrum, Uniswap, ZKsync). Additionally, Tally’s use of battle-tested OpenZeppelin Governor contracts provides a more scalable solution. Finally, Tally’s liquid staking and gasless transaction capabilities are advanced features that Commonwealth cannot replicate.
Tally is intended for use with established protocols that need enterprise-class governance; Commonwealth is designed for use with emerging DAO communities.
Tally is a decentralized governance protocol that allows users to submit proposals, vote on those proposals, delegate their voting rights, and execute actions using their proposals on the blockchain as well as multiple blockchains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum and Polygon.
Tally uses battle-tested OpenZeppelin governance, supports multiple chains with its Wormhole-based MultiGov and allows gasless transactions using Relay. Tally powers some of the largest DAOs today including Arbitrum, Uniswap and ZKSync and provides services that combine token launches, governance and liquid staking.
Tally currently powers governance for Arbitrum for security council elections, Uniswap for creating and voting on proposals, ZKSync to fund upgrades, Wormhole for multichain governance, ENS, Aave, Compound and Obol.
Tally has no barrier to entry and any EVM based project can access Tally using the Tally.xyz dashboard and also by utilizing Open Source Governor contracts. While Tally secures over $1 billion in DAOs, Tally also has governance tools available for smaller projects to utilize via the DAO Launcher.
Tally currently supports Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Gnosis, Base, Moonbeam, Scroll, and others through MultiGov for cross chain governance.
Users do not have to transfer ownership of tokens to delegate voting rights and features include automatic redistribution of undelegated voting rights to active delegates as well as publicly visible voting records.
The DAO Launcher is a product which allows new projects to launch a DAO easily by providing airdrop claim pages, whitelabel governance interfaces and token distribution tools.
Tally's Relay feature enables DAOs to cover gas costs so that there are no financial hurdles for users to participate in governance activities.
Tally is the leading onchain governance platform for large scale DAOs such as Arbitrum, Uniswap and ZKSync, using battle tested OpenZeppelin contracts and supporting multiple chains. Its broad array of tooling including MultiGov, Relay for gasless transactions and DAO Launcher make it necessary infrastructure for serious Web3 governance.
Tally is the gold standard for production-ready onchain DAO Governance for the largest Web3 Protocol.
Tally has been the established industry leader in onchain DAO governance providing over $1 Billion in total market capitalization to some of the most well-known Web3 protocols such as Arbitrum, Uniswap, ZKSync and Wormhole. The battle-tested OpenZeppelin Governor implementation provides multi-chain support, gasless voting via Relay, cross-chain coordination for DAOs via MultiGov, DAO Launcher for new projects and recently was utilized for the launch of a Liquid Staking Protocol.

Tally secures the $1B+ stack of Arbitrum with security council elections; powers the proposal creation/voting functionality of Uniswap; manages funding/upgrades for ZKsync; supports Wormhole’s multichain governance capabilities.
Currently available for use on: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Gnosis, Base, Moonbeam, Scroll. MultiGov provides support for cross-chain governance through Wormhole.
Introduced Tally Protocol for governing liquidity staked governance tokens (stLSTs) which earn rewards from restaking while providing voting/DeFi composability. Rewards are automatically compounded and shared equally among all delegates.
Enables rapid deployment of new DAOs with white-label governance interfaces, airdrop claim pages, and token distribution tools. No fees charged for compliant raises via Uniswap CCA.
Utilizes OpenZeppelin Governor contracts (battle-tested in use by ENS, Compound, Aave); utilizes custodian integrations (Fireblocks, Copper, Anchorage) for institutional participants.
