Method
To get the charts of this dashboard, we have used (solana.core.fact_proposal_votes) and (ethereum.core.ez_snapshot) and (solana.core.fact_transactions) and (ethereum.core.fact_transactions) tables.
We have calculated the daily chart information from December 1, 2021 until today, because the information related to Realms was only available from this date until today.

Realms
Realms provides a platform for builders on Solana to create a DAO, manage their members, vote on proposals, and allocate their treasury. Realms has the tools and integrations to help multisig, NFT community DAO, or community token DAO to run. Realms serves as the frontend for SLP Governance a DAO-type and asset-type agnostic standard for building and maintaining DAOs on Solana.


Conclusion
Undoubtedly, Snapshot is a bigger and older platform than Realms and it consists of different networks (Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimum, BSC, etc.) and also has a much higher number of votes and voters. The reason there is a chance to vote is more than Realms and the plans proposed for it. Whale activity in Realms is more than Snapshot, because compared to Snapshot, users participate in the platform with more voting power. In recent weeks there has been a surge of activity on the snapshot platform by voters. During the last 2-3 months there was the most activity in Realms. In my opinion, the Snapshot project has better health than Realms because it is superior in many of the above parameters and has involved a higher percentage of blockchain users, and whales are less active, which makes the voting more fair.
