Voting FAQ

How should I choose the best pool to vote for?

While there is no clear guideline on which pools are the best, here are some factors you can consider when choosing the best pool to vote for.

APR (Annual Percentage Rate): A primary factor is the APR offered by the pool. Generally, a higher APR translates to greater rewards, assuming other factors remain constant.

Reward tokens: Since you can only claim your voting rewards after the next Epoch ends, the value of your rewards might fluctuate within this period. Risk-averse voters might find voting for stablecoin or majors cryptocurrency pools more attractive, placing less emphasis on the pool’s APR.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Strategy: If you aim to accumulate a specific cryptocurrency, consider voting for pools that align with this strategy. For instance, if you're accumulating DOGE, consistently voting for a DOGE/BNB pool ensures a steady inflow of DOGE as rewards.

Total Rewards in Pool: Consider the total rewards available in the pool and the number of votes it receives. For those with significant voting power or when voting in pools with limited total rewards, it’s crucial to consider the potential dilution effect from your votes. Voting in pools with a larger reward pool may mitigate this dilution.

When is the best time to vote?

The best time to vote is near the end of the Epoch. This is when the rewards estimate is the most accurate and most protocols have deposited their voting incentives. As such, the voting APR is the most accurate and you can make the best choices!

However, to avoid missing the voting period, you can also choose to vote earlier.

Why should I extend my lock?

Your voting power correlates with the remaining duration of your token lock.

Consider a hypothetical scenario where you earned $500 from voting with a one-year lock. Had you extended your lock to maintain the two-year duration, your voting power would have remained higher, and you could have earnt more.

How do I minimize my gas fees used?

We will soon be introducing cross-chain voting, where you can vote for opBNB and other upcoming network with almost zero gas-fees, allowing those with smaller veTHE positions to take part in weekly voting effectively.

You can also accumulate rewards from many voting Epochs to collect at once in order to save on gas fees.
