Epochs

An epoch is a recurring governance cycle in the Alvara DAO. Each epoch represents one round of gauge weight voting and reward distribution.

Epoch Cycle

  1. Voting period: veALVA holders cast gauge weight votes via Snapshot

  2. Tallying: Votes are counted at the end of the epoch

  3. Reward allocation: ALVA rewards are calculated based on voting results

  4. Distribution: Rewards become claimable for eligible participants

  5. Next epoch begins: The cycle repeats

Epoch Duration

Epochs typically run for one week, though this can be adjusted through governance.

Epoch History

The DAO page on the Alvara app shows the complete history of all epochs. You can:

  • View vote distributions for any past epoch

  • Compare how voting patterns have changed over time

  • See which BSKTs have consistently attracted the most votes

  • Track your own voting and reward history

Rewards Per Epoch

Each epoch distributes a set amount of ALVA rewards. The total reward per epoch is determined by the protocol's emission schedule. These rewards are split among BSKTs based on gauge weight vote results.

Rewards become claimable after the epoch ends. See Claiming DAO Rewards.
