Vote

Only $veBLADE can be used to vote. Unlike typical ve(3,3) DEXs, BladeSwap operates without epochs. $veBLADE holders can vote at any time and for any pool they want, with the flexibility to change their vote as needed. Emission of rewards occurs in real-time, eliminating concerns about potentially missing out on rewards due to voting patterns.

Rewards

Voting has several benefits that should be considered.

  • Voting directs $BLADE token incentives. So if you care about this, vote accordingly.

  • The Blast's native yield for liquidity can only be obtained through voting. All native yields are offered as bribes to the pools and distributed to the voters.

  • Voting on a pool grants you a pro-rata share of all the trading fees of the pool you voted on. (Only the LPs that are staked to receive $BLADE rewards)

  • Voting on a pool grants you a pro-rata share of all the bribes that are added to the pool by any 3rd party. Bribes can be added to a pool at any time. Bribes are released according to a schedule set by the briber in advance. Bribe rewards are available at any time similar to the farming rewards.

How to get $veBLADE?

$veBLADE can be minted on a 1:1 basis with $BLADE as the default. However, since BladeSwap supports trading via $veBLADE/$BLADE pair, the price of $veBLADE is not always equal to $BLADE. To avoid confusion and ensure optimal cost for acquiring $veBLADE, if a user tries to mint $veBLADE when the price of $veBLADE is lower than $BLADE,BladeSwap will automatically purchase $veBLADE from the market, and only mint the amount of $BLADE needed to fill the gap. This feature is provided by BladeSwap itself.

Voting APR

In the front end, you will see a column that displays the voting APR.

This metric is calculated as follows;

Voting APR = Real-time bribe release (per sec) / (TV *$veBLADE price) * 31,536,000 * 100%

year = 31,536,000 (365d * 24h * 60m * 60s)

TV = Total Number of Votes
