Some adjustments has been made from the initial Solidly model:

• Loss of unclaimed bribes: veTHE voters will always be able to recoup unclaimed bribes. The bribes are claimable for one year.

• Bribes farming: This option is no longer possible. The bribe proceeds can only be claimed by veTHE voters as a lump sum after the following Epoch (i.e. vote in Epoch 1, claim in Epoch 3)

Bribing Specifications

• Bribes claim: veTHE holders receive rewards after the following Epoch in the form of a claimable lump sum

• Epoch duration: 1 week (Thursday to Thursday)

• Tokens: Any whitelisted tokens can be deposited as bribes

• Bribes deposits: Any time during the epoch

It does not matter when you deposit the bribes, as long as you leave a few hours for voting before the Epoch change at 00:00 UTC Wednesday-Thursday night.

Earning the bribes (and trading fees) requires weekly voting.
