Casting Your Vote

After you have reviewed the proposal, casting your vote is as easy as issuing a Solana transaction for "Yes" or "No".

Note: You will need a bit of Sol to cast your veTokens for a vote.

After voting, you can leave a comment supporting your stance.

Understanding Vote Power

When you vote your veTokens, all positions will be attributed to your vote choice. Token positions cannot be split within one vote on a single account.

Your vote is calculated at the time your vote is submitted. If your position is in 'decay' mode, voting sooner means you apply greater voting power. Conversely, if a position is extended to added to, a vote can be relinquished and re-voted to apply the new voting power.

A vote can be changed by first relinquishing it.
