The Mezo Earn Prime Access Guide

To kick off the launch of Mezo Earn, Prime Access yield is now open.

Prime Access is a limited-time promotional APR event for Mezo Earn's first users. The first 50 BTC locked and actively voting share a pool of BTC rewards.

The Prime Access APR is dynamic. As more BTC is locked into Mezo Earn, rates compress. First depositors may earn well above 40% APR. At 10% filled, ~40% APR. At capacity, 4% APR.

Once the 50 BTC cap is reached, Prime Access closes.

Epochs start on Thursdays at 00:00 UTC. Rewards are paid in BTC and become claimable at the end of each epoch.

Here’s how to get started.

Prerequisites

Already have BTC on Mezo? Skip to Step 1.

If your BTC isn't on Mezo yet, bridge it first:

1. Sign in to Mezo.
2. Click Deposit and select the asset you wish to bridge.
3. Specify the amount, click Review, and confirm your transaction.
4. If you did not deposit BTC, swap to BTC before proceeding to step 1. Make sure to keep a small amount of BTC for gas.

Step 1 – Lock BTC for veBTC

After bridging BTC, lock it to obtain a veBTC position, a time-weighted position that earns fees and grants voting power:

1. In the Mezo app, navigate to the Lock section under Earn.
2. Click Lock on your eligible BTC assets.  
3. Enter BTC amount to lock. Choose a Lock period.
4. Click Confirm Lock and approve the transaction.

Step 2 – Vote & Claim

Voting directs emission flows and determines where trading fees and incentives accrue. You must cast at least one vote to qualify for Prime Access rate. For each veBTC position:

1. Go to the Vote tab and click Allocate next to your veBTC position
2. Allocate your voting weight across gauges by entering percentages. You can split across gauges or concentrate on one.
3. Review allocations, click Submit Votes, and sign the transaction
4. Recast your votes every epoch. Votes do not carry over; if you skip a week, you forego all active rewards for that period
5. Fees are distributed weekly at the end of each epoch. Claim your fees on the Vote page under the Manage dropdown, if present.

Why vote? Your votes determine where rewards flow—including back to your own position. Active voters shape the system and capture more value.

Lock. Vote. Register. Claim.

Prime Access is first come, first served.
