Core Capabilities
Locking HYDX
Lock HYDX to receive veHYDX (vote-escrowed HYDX)
Receive an NFT representing your locked position
Gain voting power starting next epoch
Rolling locks (Type 1) provide maximum voting power
Auto-extends to maintain 2-year lock with no manual management
Earning power = 1.3x voting power for fee distributions
gauge.liveVotingWeight — Current competition for fees
gauge.votingAprProjection — Expected APR from voting
Efficiency formula: projectedFeeInUsd / liveVotingWeight = fee revenue per vote
Common Workflows
First-Time Setup
Get HYDX — Acquire HYDX tokens on Base
Approve HYDX — Approve veHYDX contract to spend HYDX
Lock HYDX — Create rolling lock (Type 1) for voting power
Wait for epoch — Voting power activates next epoch (~weekly)
Vote — Allocate voting power to pools
Example:
# Step 1: Check HYDX balance
"What's my HYDX balance on Base?"
# Step 2 & 3: Approve and lock in one go
"Lock 1000 HYDX on Hydrex with rolling lock"
# Step 4: Wait for next epoch (typically next Thursday 00:00 UTC)
# Step 5: Vote optimally
"Vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize fees"
Optimized Voting
When you want maximum returns:
Vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize my fee earnings
Bankr will:
Fetch all pools from API
Calculate efficiency (fees per vote) for each pool
Rank pools by efficiency
Allocate votes to top pools
Execute vote transaction
Named Pool Voting
Vote by pool name instead of addresses:
Vote 100% on HYDX/USDC on Hydrex
Vote 60% on HYDX/USDC and 40% on cbBTC/WETH on Hydrex
Vote 33/33/34 on HYDX/USDC, cbBTC/WETH, and USDC/USDbC on Hydrex
Changing Votes
Reallocate your voting power:
Change my Hydrex vote to 100% on cbBTC/WETH
This will reset current votes and apply new allocation.
Optimization Strategies
Simple Strategy
Vote 100% on the pool with highest projectedFeeInUsd / liveVotingWeight ratio.
Example:
Vote on the single best Hydrex pool by fees
Balanced Strategy
Split votes equally across top 3-5 efficient pools for diversification.
Example:
Vote equally on top 3 Hydrex pools by projected fees
Weighted Strategy
Allocate votes proportional to efficiency scores.
Example:
Vote on Hydrex pools weighted by their fee efficiency
Understanding Voting Power
How Voting Power Works
Lock HYDX → Receive veHYDX NFT
veHYDX amount = Your voting power
Rolling locks (Type 1) = Maximum voting power with auto-extension
Earning power = 1.3x voting power (used for fee distributions)
Next epoch = Voting power activates
Vote allocation = Direct emissions to pools
Checking Your Power
# Check voting power
bankr prompt "What's my Hydrex voting power?"# Check earning power (1.3x voting power)
bankr prompt "What's my Hydrex earning power?"# Check veHYDX NFT balance
bankr prompt "Show my veHYDX NFT balance"# Check a specific NFT's earning power
bankr prompt "How much earning power does my veHYDX NFT #5 have?"
Display to users: Show earning power (voting power × 1.3) when discussing fee earnings, as this is what determines your share of distributions.
Vote Proportions
Vote weights are in basis points (10000 = 100%):
User Says
Proportions
"100% on X"
[10000]
"50/50 on X and Y"
[5000, 5000]
"60/40 on X and Y"
[6000, 4000]
"33/33/34 on X, Y, Z"
[3333, 3333, 3334]
"25% each on 4 pools"
[2500, 2500, 2500, 2500]
Proportions must sum to exactly 10000.
Epoch System
Hydrex operates on epochs:
Duration: Typically 1 week
Voting power activation: Next epoch after locking
Vote changes: Respect vote delay between changes
Epoch boundary: Usually Thursday 00:00 UTC

Tips
For New Users
Start small: Lock a small amount first to learn the flow
Rolling locks: Use Type 1 for maximum voting power with auto-extension
Wait for epoch: Voting power activates at next epoch boundary
Let Bankr optimize: "Vote optimally" handles everything automatically
Earning power: Remember your fee earnings are based on 1.3x your voting power
Rewards — Claiming oHYDX incentives and exercising into veHYDX
💡 Pro Tip: Efficiency (fees per vote) matters more than absolute fees. Say "vote optimally on Hydrex" and let Bankr handle the math. Remember your earnings are based on earning power (1.3x voting power).
⚠️ Important: Rolling locks (Type 1) automatically extend to maintain 2-year duration. This maximizes your voting power without manual management.
🚀 Quick Win: Lock HYDX with rolling lock, wait for next epoch, then say "vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize fees" — Bankr calculates using your earning power and does the rest.
