Gauge Voting

What is Gauge Voting?

Gauge Voting is Omni Exchange’s community-driven emissions mechanism—giving veOMNI holders direct influence over where $OMNI incentives go.

Think of it like this: every pool or product that receives OMNI emissions (such as yield farms, liquidity vaults, or staking contracts) is represented as a “gauge.” As a veOMNI holder, you get to vote on how the total emissions are distributed across these gauges, every cycle.

How It Works?

Each gauge competes for a slice of the total OMNI rewards available during an epoch. By casting your vote with veOMNI, you're signaling where you want the rewards to flow.

The more veOMNI a gauge collects during voting, the more emissions it earns for the next cycle. This voting is recalibrated every epoch—meaning today's votes shape where emissions go tomorrow.

Types Of Gauges

🔒 Protocol-Controlled Gauges (Core Gauges)

These are strategic pools involving major tokens or key stable pairs (e.g., ETH, BTC, USDC). Their emissions are managed directly by Omni's protocol team to ensure critical market depth and sustainable liquidity.

🌐 Community-Governed Gauges (Open Gauges)

These cover everything else—from emerging altcoins to protocol-specific pools. Here, the community has full control. Your veOMNI votes determine how much OMNI these gauges receive. If a pool attracts more votes, it secures more emissions.

Why Gauge Voting Matters?

• Influence emissions where you have LP positions
• Support partner protocols or new token pairs
• Help your favorite projects attract more liquidity
• Align emissions with real community demand

Gauge voting transforms veOMNI holders into active allocators of capital within the Omni ecosystem. You don’t just earn—you help build the future of cross-chain DeFi.
