Voting & Emissions
veNEST governance — weekly emissions and vote weight directing NEST to gauges on HyperEVM.
Epochs are 7-day cycles aligned to Thursday 00:00 UTC week boundaries. Votes cast this epoch determine how the next batch of NEST emissions is split across gauges.
How ve(3,3) works on Nest
Lock NEST → veNEST. Lock NEST for up to a maximum term to mint a veNEST position (an NFT). Longer locks carry more voting power, which decays linearly toward the unlock date.
Vote weekly.Each epoch, veNEST holders allocate their vote weight across liquidity gauges. That weight determines how the protocol's weekly NEST emissions are distributed to each pool the following epoch.
Earn for your votes. Voters receive 100% of the trading fees from the pools they vote for, plus any external incentives (bribes) deposited on those gauges — aligning emissions with the pools that generate the most value.
Voting APR and rewards above are read live from each gauge's incentive & fee contracts.
