ACTIVE: Epoch 5

Voting
1

These initiatives can be voted on in the current Epoch which ends next Wednesday at 23:59:59 UTC. The initiatives will receive protocol incentives at the start of the following Epoch.

What initiatives can be voted on?

Why were those initiatives chosen?

  • Curve: Is optimized for stablecoin liquidity and enables V2 to incentivize pools in a trustless and automated manner.
  • DeFi Collective: proposed an initiative and has a good track record of supporting LUSD liquidity.

How to vote?
After staking LQTY on one of the frontends, you will be able to distribute your votes. Read more here.

Once you have voted, your votes will count in all future epochs - you don’t need to vote every epoch. You only need to vote again if you want to adjust your voting weights, or if your LQTY stake changed (add/remove LQTY).

Voting Epochs & Periods

Voting operates in weekly epochs. Each epoch starts with the first Ethereum block after Thursday 00:00 UTC and ends with the last block on Wednesday 23:59:59 UTC.

  • Voting Period: Thursday 00:00 UTC – Tuesday 23:59:59 UTC
  • Downvote Period: Thursday 00:00 UTC – Wednesday 23:59:59 UTC

During the final 24 hours (Wednesday), voting is disabled. However, users can still remove votes or reallocate them to downvotes.

Are those initiatives hard-coded?
No. In any weekly epoch new initiatives can be registered.

So I’ve staked on defisaver, but where do we actually go to vote? I can find all the docs talking about voting, but cannot figure out how to actually vote.

Voting is not possible on DFS, but you should be able to use other frontends for that.
If something is unclear it is best you check on their Discord.
