Gauge Voting
Learn how to direct weekly TFY emissions to your preferred liquidity pools through gauge voting - the most active form of governance in Thirdfy.
Direct the flow of weekly TFY emissions to your preferred liquidity pools through gauge voting. This is the most active and frequent governance mechanism in Thirdfy, happening every week and directly impacting where rewards flow in the ecosystem.
What is Gauge Voting?
Gauge voting is your weekly opportunity to decide which liquidity pools receive TFY emissions. Your voting power comes from staked xTFY, and your votes determine where the protocol's weekly token rewards are distributed.
Weekly Cycles
Every epoch (ending Wednesday 0:00 UTC), vote with your staked xTFY to direct emissions to your preferred automated liquidity pools.
Direct Emissions
Your votes determine which pools receive weekly TFY rewards. More votes to a pool = more emissions directed there.
Strategic Impact
Influence where liquidity flows in the ecosystem by directing rewards to pools you believe will benefit the protocol most.
How Weekly Voting Works
1. Stake xTFY for Voting Power
You need staked xTFY to participate in gauge voting. Your voting power equals your staked xTFY balance.
2. Choose Your Pools
Select which automated liquidity pools you want to support. Consider factors like:
- Pool TVL and trading volume
- Token pairs you believe in
- Potential voting incentives offered
3. Cast Your Votes
Distribute your voting power across your chosen pools. You can split your votes between multiple pools or concentrate on one.
4. Earn Voting Incentives
Pool operators and users can offer voting incentives (bribes) to attract votes. Earn extra rewards while supporting pools you believe in.
Voting Incentives (Bribes)
Projects and users can offer additional rewards to encourage votes for their preferred pools:
Extra Rewards
Earn additional tokens beyond your regular staking rewards when you vote for pools offering incentives.
Community Driven
Pool operators compete to attract votes by offering attractive incentives, creating a healthy marketplace for governance participation.
Fair Distribution
Voting incentives are distributed proportionally to your voting power directed to each pool, ensuring fair participation.
Your Voting Power
Your influence in gauge voting is determined by your staked xTFY balance:
Proportional Power
Your voting power equals your staked xTFY balance. More stake = more influence over emissions direction.
Persistent Votes
Your votes remain active until you change them. You don't need to vote every week unless you want to adjust your allocation.
Maximizing Your Rewards
To get the most out of gauge voting:
Vote Regularly
Participate every epoch to maximize your influence and potential voting incentives. The more active you are, the more rewards you can earn.
Research Incentives
Look for pools offering voting incentives before casting your votes. These can significantly boost your total rewards.
Diversify Strategically
Consider spreading votes across multiple pools to capture different incentive opportunities while supporting ecosystem growth.
o33 Automated Voting
If you hold o33 instead of directly staking xTFY, don't worry - you still benefit from gauge voting:
The o33 contract automatically participates in gauge voting on behalf of all o33 holders. A designated operator strategically votes to maximize returns for the entire o33 pool, and any voting incentives earned are auto-compounded into the o33 ratio.
