Flexibility:

veCATX
holders play a crucial role in determining the allocation of emissions among liquidity pools during each epoch. By voting on their preferred liquidity pool gauges, they influence the distribution of CATX
emissions.
The emissions are proportionally distributed based on the total votes received by each liquidity pool. This ensures a fair and democratic process in determining the rewards.
In return for their participation, voters receive 100% of the trading fees and external incentives collected from the liquidity pool they have voted for. This incentivizes active engagement and enables voters to benefit directly from their chosen pool's activity.
Rewards
Voting holds several enticing benefits that you should consider:
Directing
CATX
Incentives: Your vote influences the allocation ofCATX
token incentives. By voting according to your preferences, you shape the distribution of rewards.Pro-rata Share of Trading Fees: When you vote on a pool, you become eligible for a pro-rata share of all trading fees generated by that pool. This benefit applies exclusively to LPs staked to receive
CATX
rewards.Pro-rata Share of external incentives: Voting on a pool also grants you a pro-rata share of all incentives added to the pool by third parties. Throughout an epoch, incentives can be contributed at any time. A snapshot of votes is taken at the end of each epoch (time to be set).
Remember: Casting your vote before the epoch snapshot is crucial to qualify for rewards. Remember, voting transactions do incur gas fees. If you skip voting in any week, while rewards will still go to the gauge, you'll miss out on your proportional share of those rewards.
Trading fees and external incentives are claimable as a lump sum after the epoch has ended.
You have to vote weekly in order to be eligible for the fees and incentives.
You can change or reset your vote at any time.
