Voting for gauges

Voting epochs

Arc Mainnet epochs last seven days and turn over every Thursday at 00:00 UTC. Each veArchery NFT can vote or reset once per epoch. Voting is closed during the first hour of an epoch, and only whitelisted locks can vote in its final hour. Votes carry into the next epoch until reset.

Voting opens with ARCHERY at TGE. Arc Testnet uses one-hour epochs with five-minute voting boundaries. Read the active period and the NFT's last-voted state before submitting.

Cast a vote

1. Select a veArchery NFT you own or are authorized to use.
2. Choose eligible pool gauges and assign relative weights.
3. Check current voting power, gauge status and the voting window.
4. Submit Voter.vote and verify the recorded pool weights in the receipt.

Fees and voting incentives

Voting reward contracts account for fees and externally deposited incentives associated with a gauge. Claims depend on the NFT's recorded participation and completed reward periods. Changing your vote does not guarantee a particular return.
