Aerodrome Gauge

To distribute AERO emissions, you stake LP tokens in Gauge contracts which allocate rewards proportionally to liquidity providers. This governance-aligned distribution works across vAMM and sAMM pools using Solidity reward logic and epoch-based timing.

Gauge-based reward distribution works with veNFT systems by integrating with the Voter contract to receive emissions, while veNFT voters can claim trading fees. This shapes participation incentives and aligns liquidity provision with governance.

To stake LP tokens, call the deposit function on the Gauge contract with your amount. Wait for emissions to accrue across epochs, then claim your proportional AERO rewards using the getReward function for your account.

Yes, gauge contracts support emission distribution across both vAMM and sAMM pools. The system handles cross-contract interactions with the Voter and veNFT, ensuring proportional rewards reach LP stakers in either pool type.

The best way to monitor AERO emission flows is by tracking the Voter contract, which routes emissions to gauges. You can also observe governance participation through veNFT voting patterns and fee distribution claims to understand incentive alignment.

Epoch-based timing is required for AERO reward accrual because emissions are distributed in scheduled cycles governed by Solidity reward logic. This timing ensures proportional distribution to stakers and synchronizes cross-contract interactions with the Voter system.
