[Consultation] Introducing the new Voltage Gauge Incentive Budget

Proposals
1

Overview

Voltage is transitioning from farming to a gauge-based reward distribution. This gives veVOLT holders full control over where incentives go. Each epoch (2 weeks), ~$750 worth of rewards will be allocated by vote. This replaces the previous farming structure which distributed ~$1,500/month in $FUSE & $VOLT.

Proposal

We suggest keeping the same total reward level: $1,500/month (split into $750 every 2 weeks). This ensures continuity in incentives while enabling a more dynamic and community-led distribution.

Why This Level Makes Sense

  • Proven: Same as previous emissions
  • Predictable: Doesn’t shock existing LPs
  • Efficient: Now directed based on real-time community votes
  • Flexible: Bribes can boost incentives for specific pools if needed

We’d like your opinion.
This poll is non-binding. Final decisions will be made by the core contributors, but we want to hear your input.

How should Voltage set the initial gauge reward budget?

Let us know what you think. Your input matters.

  • The current level of $1,500/month is too high and creates sell pressure. It should be lowered.
  • Keeping it at $1,500/month is fair and balanced.
  • $1,500/month is too low to attract enough liquidity. It should be increased.

Defiantly not more than $1500, probably less.

Worth seeing if rewards could be a % of Volt $MCap with a $1000/month minimum. Rewards would then scale with token price.

Currently rewards are ~0.35% of MCap per month. Setting this at 0.3% would mean £=$1154 worth of rewards pcm.

At a $2m MCap it would be $6000 pcm.

Given the fixed (or slightly deflationary) nature of Volt token now, any MCap increase will be directly linked to token price, therefore there wont be more tokens going into circulation from rewards, it’ll always be a similar amount, but the value will increase.
