Vote with Kinetix Ve-Voting Pools

The Vote tab enables users to vote on multiple pools and earn a share of those pool’s transaction fees, bribes, and emission rewards for helping to govern Kinetix Finance.

At the top of the page, a small dashboard gives updates of the following data:

• Time left for the current voting round.

• Emissions / % of your vote.

• Your total voting power for this round/epoch.

1. Brows through Active Pools:

   • Browse through the list of active pools and gauge for liquidity pools with the highest bribe APR.

1. Cast Your Vote:

• First, Click on the 'Select' button, which can be seen on the right side of the pool you are voting for.

• Once selected, another button appears with your vest ID. Click on the vest ID to confirm you are selecting this particular pool.

1. Once you've selected the pools you want to vote for during this epoch, click on the 'Vote' button on the bottom of the page.

1. Next, a summary of the pools you have voted for will appear.

Here, you are able to allocate your voting power in % to the different pools you have voted for.

Logically, users need to wisely allocate the %-portion of their voting power to specific pools so that it does not exceed 100%. To make this easier, buttons indicating percentages are presented to simply click them. Alternatively, users can also manually type in a percentage they wish to allocate to this pool.

In the example below 10 pools have been voted for in total, and each vote has been allocated 10% of voting power.

1. Lastly, click on 'Vote' and confirm the transaction in our wallet

How to Bribe:

The Bribes tab allows users to offer an incentive for a specific pool, which can can attract additional liquidity providers. Votes play a crucial role in determining the emissions allocated to a liquidity pool in the upcoming epoch. The greater the emissions directed to a liquidity pool, the higher the rewards for those participating as liquidity providers in that pool.

Step by step guide:

Step 1: Select a Liquidity Pool to Bribe for:

Step 2: Select the token you want to use for the Bribe.

Step 3: Enter amount for your Bribe.

Lastly, click on confirm and approve the transaction in your wallet. Note: Once any rewards are deposited as a Bribe, it is not possible to withdraw those.

How to Claim your Rewards;

The Rewards tab is where you can claim earned rewards from participating in voting.

At the end of an epoch, accrued rewards will appear on this dashboard and you will be able to claim them seperately or all at once.

To claim all of your rewards, just click on 'claim all' and approve the transaction in your wallet.

Convert

*Before the KAI token went live, users who have been actively committing to the Kinetix Finance dApp and who have been trading/LPing, have at that time earned pKFI.

The Convert tab allows users to exchange these earlier farmed pKFI into KAI at a 1:1 ratio.
