Snapshot Fairness

Axiom uses a snapshot system to ensure fairness and prevent manipulation.

  • Every 24 hours, the Eligibility Registry takes a snapshot of all staker positions

  • These snapshots determine who is in the top 50 percent

  • Proposal and voting eligibility are locked to the resolution epoch, not the current moment

  • Users cannot stake large amounts right before a vote

  • Users cannot withdraw to avoid penalties

  • All actions are tied to stake values at a fixed time

Snapshots use an optimistic offchain Merkle model with fraud proofs. This reduces gas costs while maintaining decentralization
