[WalletConnect] Snapshot votes don't get registered, and need at times several submissions before being picked up

[liliya-soroka]

"We've been using safe successfully to manage our DAO's operations for a while.
However recently there's been issues when using Safe with Snapshot. Votes don't get registered, and need at times several submissions before being picked up.
This wasn't an issue in the past, but is now impacting the smooth running of our operations.
What can be done to make sure our votes and proposals pass?

Steps:

1. use n/m safe ( n>1)
2. submits a vote/proposal as signer 1
3. there is a delay (30min +) before the 2nd signer signes the vote/proposal
   Current result : the message gets submitted on-chain/off-chain but doesn't get recognised by snapshot

What to test:

• off-chain message signing
• on-chain message signing

@francovenica , the card is converted to the issue, as you was able to reproduce in case of 30 mints delay

Let's check if Snapshot votes have an intrinsic timeout.

I created a space in https://testnet.snapshot.org/ to test this but trying to connect to my Sepolia safe via WC doesn't work as its not supported.

Edit: There is a small bug in Snapshot that prevents this from working on Sepolia. I've opened a PR to address it in their codebase: snapshot-labs/snapshot#4692

Update from Usame:

• Usame will push a PR to their repo to fix their WC config

The fix was merged. I will test this again

Ok, I was able to test this on a testnet space that I created: https://testnet.snapshot.org/#/asd.eth

I checked both 1/1 and n/m safes with WC. Here are my results:

1/1

• ✅ off-chain vote works
• 🔴 on-chain vote doesn't work
  The screen is stuck and the vote is not getting picked up even after waiting (will update if it ever does)
  

n/m

• ✅ off-chain vote works if the signing screen is kept open and all wallets sign in the same browser.
• 🔴 off-chain vote doesn't work if the signing screen is closed e.g. if a second wallet wants to sign from a different browser/machine
• 🔴 on-chain vote doesn't work in the same way as 1/1 on-chain

It might have to do with it being a testnet space but even their graphql endpoint doesn't return any votes.

After digging into it a bit more I realized that I should be using Snapshot as a safe app. Unfortunately the testnets.snapshot.org doesn't seem to have a relayer that is necessary to support safe votes so I created an issue on their board: snapshot-labs/snapshot#4793

Not necessarily a blocker but the only way to test is to have eligible tokens for an official space via snapshot.org and vote on a real proposal.
