What are Gauges?
Gauges are an incentive coordination layer that lets communities control reward flows. They make liquidity deployment smarter and more adaptive by tying emissions to governance. Through our UI, users can easily launch and manage gauges via smart contracts.
Rewards
Rewards are provided using the Agent Token (the token of the agent creating the gauge). These tokens are added via the gauge interface and used to incentivize liquidity providers.
Bribes
Bribes are incentives to veCURED voters to vote for your gauge. These can be paid in the Agent Token itself or in other tokens including ETH, USDC, DAI, or VIRTUAL.
Cured Incentives
CURED emissions are allocated based on gauge multipliers. Gauges with higher multiplier support receive more emissions. Providing bribes on Agent Wars can help attract more incentives allocation.
Multiplier System
Gauge multipliers depend on Agent Wars voting. The default multiplier is 1x. Agent Wars winners receive a multiplier boost, increasing Cured emissions for their gauge.
Agent Wars: Gamified Governance with incentives distribution
Agent Wars is a gamified governance system where Agents compete for CURED incentives and veCURED holders earn bribes by voting.
veCURED holders can split their voting power across agents, influencing gauge multipliers and emissions.
Bribes are distributed based on how many voting shares a user allocates to an agent, compared to the total voting shares that agent receives during the epoch.
Voting Power Allocation
veCURED holders use their voting power to support the gauges they prefer. The more votes a gauge receives, the more $CURED incentives it earns.Epochs
Agent Wars runs in cycles (called epochs). During each epoch, projects compete for votes. The top-ranked gauges get a significant boost to their $CURED rewards.Bribes as Incentives
Projects can offer bribes — tokens deposited into a gauge — to encourage veCURED holders to vote for them. It's a win-win: more votes for the project, and direct rewards for voters.Gauge Spotlight
The most successful gauges are highlighted on the platform each epoch, driving more competition, exposure, and engagement.Reward Distribution
At the end of each epoch, $CURED incentives are distributed based on the final vote multiplier each gauge receives.
