Initial Epoch Timeline
Understand how rewards flow, votes matter, and epochs reset.
Catex emissions and veCATX voting follow a weekly epoch-based cycle, determining how incentives are allocated to gauges and how voters are rewarded based on their voting strategy—creating a cohesive, feedback-driven system.
This section breaks down what each epoch represents, what to expect as a participant, and how rewards flow across time.
Epoch 0 (July 10–17) — Bootstrapping Phase
No incentives or public voting are active.
Catex conducts the TGE (Token Generation Event) and public sales of $CATX.
veCATX is minted and locked by the Catex treasury, which casts the first round of votes to direct incentives in Epoch 1.
This phase is foundational — it ensures the first epoch has a meaningful distribution of rewards to kick off liquidity growth.
Epoch 1 (July 17–24) — Governance Goes Live
veCATX voting opens to the public.
Incentives begin accruing in gauges.
Users who locked veCATX in epoch 0 are eligible to vote on gauges.
By the end of Epoch 1, voters will be able to claim their earned fees and incentives — distributed weekly.
Epoch 2 and Beyond — Continuous Reward Cycles
Each epoch continues with the same cycle:
veCATX votes direct emissions.
Incentives and fees accrue during the week.
Rewards from the previous epoch become claimable.
With full protocol functionality and partner integrations going live, voters and LPs can continuously participate in directing and benefiting from the growth of Catex.
