Quick start - add your community to Lighthouse

If you are the creator or owner of an onchain community, you can add it to Lighthouse and access special features to better coordinate your members.

A community usually revolves around two components:

  • A token or NFT to determine membership and/or voting rights (ERC-20, ERC-721, etc)
  • A project deployed on a governance protocol to manage proposals and voting (Snapshot, Governor, etc).

We also strongly suggest you register an ENS name for your project to make it easier to manage.

"Ownership" of a community is demonstrated by holding the private key that controls the address that is set as the owner of one of the token/governance smart contracts. If your community is set up differently, please contact us and we can help you get set up.

Step 1: Connect to the Lighthouse admin panel

The admin panel for Lighthouse can be found at app.lighthouse.cx. Visit this page and connect using the same wallet that is set as owner of your Snapshot space.

Step 2: Configure your Snapshot space

Choose Submit Space to start the wizard, and follow the prompts.

  • Choose to Submit a Snapshot space
  • Select Mainnet
  • Enter the ENS name you registered for your Snapshot account.

Confirm the details and click Continue.

Step 3: Explore Lighthouse

Your space will now appear on Lighthouse and will be searchable within the Lighthouse mobile app.

For more information on how to use the admin panel, see the section on using Lighthouse.
