Votemarket
Votemarket is an on-chain marketplace for vote incentives. Protocols create campaigns offering token rewards in exchange for gauge votes, enabling efficient price discovery for governance power in veTokenomics systems.
How It Works
In veTokenomics protocols like Curve, gauge votes determine how reward emissions are distributed. Protocols seeking liquidity can incentivize voters to direct emissions to their gauges.
Votemarket facilitates this by:
- Campaign managers deposit reward tokens and specify target gauges
- Voters cast votes for incentivized gauges
- Voters claim rewards proportional to their voting power
All operations execute on-chain through smart contracts—no intermediaries or manual processes.
Key Features
- Transparent — All campaign data and distributions recorded on-chain
- Trustless — Smart contracts handle all execution automatically
- Permissionless — Anyone can create campaigns or participate as a voter
- Composable — Integrates with existing veToken systems and DeFi protocols
Architecture
Votemarket uses a cross-chain architecture powered by storage proofs and oracles. This design preserves on-chain guarantees while reducing gas costs by operating on Arbitrum with proofs of mainnet voting state.
