Voting

How 40 Acres votes with your collateral to maximize epoch rewards.

​

The Vote Optimizer

When you deposit an asset into 40 Acres, the protocol’s vote optimizer automatically allocates your voting power each epoch to maximize the rewards your position generates. The optimizer analyzes expected returns across all supported pools and routes your votes to the highest-yielding opportunities. More rewards → faster loan repayment → sooner you get your collateral back. You don’t have to do anything. Votes are placed automatically before each epoch deadline.

​

Manual Voting

If you prefer to control where your voting power goes, you can vote manually through the 40 Acres Voting Terminal. Requirements:

• You must vote on pools that 40 Acres supports
• Votes must be placed before the epoch deadline
• Rewards still flow through the protocol for repayment - manual voting does not change the reward split

Manual voting is available for users who have a specific voting strategy or want to direct emissions to particular pools.

​

The Voting Terminal

The Voting Terminal is 40 Acres’ interface for managing votes, exploring pool yields, bribes, and tracking your epoch performance. You can:

• View current pool bribe rates and expected returns
• Set auto-vote preferences
• Override votes manually for a specific epoch
• Track your historical voting performance
