How to check the details
Section titled “How to check the details”Before casting your vote, you will see a “Confirm Vote” window.
In this window, you will be able to view the following items:
- The choice you picked
- Your voting power
Your voting power is equal to your CAKE balance at the snapshot block.
Check the snapshot block
Voting power is calculated based on a snapshot taken on the snapshot block. Therefore, purchasing or depositing more CAKE after the proposal is posted is not going to increase the voting power for that particular proposal.
If you want to know the exact time of the snapshot block. Simple click on the block number and look for the timestamp on the BscScan page.
