veHDROME & Voting

​
Voting Flow

Each epoch (Thursday 00:00 UTC to Thursday 00:00 UTC), veHDROME holders allocate their voting power across liquidity pool gauges. The flow works as follows:
  1. veHDROME holders select one or more pools and assign vote weights (percentage-based).
  2. The Voter contract tallies all votes at epoch flip.
  3. The Minter mints the weekly HDROME emission and distributes it to gauges proportionally to their vote share.
  4. LPs staked in gauges earn HDROME emissions over the following epoch on a per-second basis.
  5. Voters earn 100% of trading fees and external bribes from the pools they voted for.

Voting Strategies

Vote for pools with the highest trading volume relative to their current vote weight. High-volume pools with fewer votes generate more fees per veHDROME allocated. Check the fee/vote ratio each epoch to identify underweight pools.
Vote for pools with active external bribes. Protocols deposit bribes to attract votes, and the bribe-per-vote ratio can significantly exceed fee revenue. Compare total bribe value to current vote weight to find the best opportunities.
If you want to deepen liquidity for a specific protocol’s token, concentrate votes on its gauge. This directs more HDROME emissions to that pool’s LPs, attracting more liquidity and tightening spreads for the token.
Votes are locked for the entire epoch once cast. You cannot change or withdraw your vote until the next epoch flip. Plan your allocation carefully before voting.
