# Super Easy Real-time Voting

Conventionally, voting was a really complex system. You needed to understand the concepts of epochs, voting power, decay of voting power, lockup periods, veNFTs, and merging/splitting. Additionally, you had to calculate how to distribute your voting power across multiple pools using estimated APR and the total value of your voting power. This was just insane to repeat every week.

On BladeSwap, voting has simply become farming with fungible ve tokens. Don't calculate yourself; click smart vote, and we'll do the rest.
