Gauge Mechanics
Staking in Gauges: When you stake LP tokens in a gauge:
- Your LP tokens are locked in the gauge contract
- You retain ownership but cannot trade or move them
- Your staked balance begins earning emission rewards immediately
- Your proportional share of the pool is tracked continuously
Emission Allocation: Each epoch, gauges receive DXLYN emissions based on:
- Total veDXLYN votes the gauge’s pool received
- The gauge’s share of total protocol votes
- Current week’s emission amount from the schedule
Reward Accrual:
- Rewards accrue continuously throughout the epoch
- Calculated per-second or per-block (depending on implementation)
- Your share updates as others stake or unstake
- Claimable at any time but typically claimed weekly
