# Rewards Voting Vine Money introduces an rewards voting system, allowing users with locked veVINE tokens to have a say in how emissions are allocated within the protocol. This system empowers users to directly influence the distribution of rewards, aligning with protocol's commitment to a community-driven approach. ## **Rewards Voting Overview** * **Eligibility for Voting**: Users who lock their VINE tokens, thus acquiring lock weight, are eligible to participate in emissions voting. * **Voting Process**: Users allocate their lock weight towards preferred emission actions or recipients. These allocations determine the distribution of weekly VINE emissions. ## **Voting Mechanics** * **Lock Weight Allocation**: Users can allocate up to 100% of their lock weight to one or more emission actions. Weekly VINE emissions are then distributed proportionally based on the collective user allocations. * **Flexibility in Voting**: Votes can be modified at any point, with the allocations at the start of each week determining that week’s emission distribution. ## **Vote Registration and Management** * **Registration of Lock Weight**: Given the frequent changes in lock weight, users must register their weight within the voting contract to cast their votes effectively. * **Resubmitting Votes**: If a user's lock weight increases after voting, they may resubmit their vote with the updated weight, ensuring their influence reflects their current stake in the protocol. ## **Areas of Voting** * **Minting vUSD**: Voting can direct emissions to reward users who mint new vUSD from any of the available collateral vaults, stimulating the protocol's growth and utility. * **Maintaining vUSD Debt**: Users can vote to reward those maintaining active vUSD debts, encouraging healthy economic activity within the platform. * **Participating in Liquidity Pools**: Votes can also target users who contribute to liquidity pools, relevant to vUSD and VINE, promoting overall liquidity and stability for protocol assets. * **Depositing to the Stability Pool**: Users can vote to allocate emissions to those who contribute to the Stability Pool, incentivizing the overall health and protection mechanisms within the system. ## **Strategic Voting Examples** * **Minting vUSD:** A user planning to mint more vUSD might vote to boost emissions for minting activities, aligning their voting strategy with their intended actions in the protocol. * **Maintaining vUSD Debt:** A user with an active vUSD debt could vote to increase emissions for maintaining vUSD debt, directly benefiting from their own participation in the protocol. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
