How to Vote
Voting allows you to direct the flow of emissions and, in return, earn a proportional share of the trading fees and incentives from the gauges you allocate to. This guide walks you through the complete process.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- A compatible wallet connected to Mezo (MetaMask, Rabby, or WalletConnect-supported wallets)
- An active veBTC position
- Sufficient BTC for gas fees
See How to Lock BTC if you don’t have a lock already.
Cast Your Vote
To earn rewards, you must actively allocate your voting power to specific gauges every epoch (7 days).
-
Visit the Vote tab to view your active veBTC positions. Click Allocate next to the veBTC position you want to vote with.
-
For the gauges you want to support, enter the percentage of your voting power you want to allocate to each. For example, you might allocate 50% to the BTC/MUSD pool, 30% to the MUSD/mUSDC pool, and 20% to the mcbBTC/BTC pool.
-
Review your allocation, and when you’re ready, click Submit Votes in the right sidebar. Sign the transaction, and once complete, your vote is registered for the current epoch.
Remember: Votes don’t carry over between epochs. You must vote each week to continue earning fees and incentives.
