What Are Bribes?

Bribes are additional rewards offered by any user or project to incentivize votes toward a specific pool in the gauges system. They act as bonuses on top of the standard rewards.

How It Works:

1. Choose a Pool: Select the liquidity pool to target.

2. Choose a Token: Any token can be used (not limited to pool tokens).

3. Lock Bribe: Deposit tokens into the bribe contract before the epoch.

4. Distribute: At the end of the vote, bribes are distributed to voters of that pool, proportionally to their voting power.

Bribes align external interests with the protocol’s incentive layer, allowing:

• Projects to bootstrap liquidity.

• veVOLT holders to earn more.

• Governance to be market-responsive and dynamic.
