VOTER INCOME

How Voting Power Earns Three Income Streams

Voter income in one place: use effective veD3 to calculate voting share, then estimate project voting incentives, Gauge emissions, and fee income separately.

PAGE FOCUSOne voting position, three sources of value
01Individual voting share
02Voting incentive, emission, and fee income
0380% compounded, 10% released, 10% burned
VOTE TO VALUE

Voting directs liquidity; it is more than an expression of preference

Your effective veD3 share of total Gauge votes determines your allocation of project budgets, emissions, and fees for the period.

01 · Stake

Stake D3 to receive veD3

Effective staked D3 generates veD3 from the archived TWAP₃₀ price and term coefficient; the corresponding voting power expires after an exit or sale.

02 · Vote

Select a Target Gauge

Voting power enters a project Gauge and helps direct D3 emissions for the period.

03 · Receive

Receive Three Income Streams

Receive voting incentives, Gauge emissions, and distributable fees in proportion to your voting share.
