OMNI incentives

OMNI incentives have two separate roles.

Lock OMNI to direct incentives

An OMNI holder can lock tokens and receive veOMNI voting power. More OMNI and a longer remaining lock create more power. That power decreases as the lock approaches expiry.

veOMNI cannot be transferred. Its job is to let holders choose how the next epoch's OMNI budget is divided among verified vault gauges.

Locking does not earn vault staking rewards by itself.

Stake vault shares to earn incentives

When someone deposits into an approved ERC-4626 vault, they receive transferable vault shares. They can stake those shares in the vault's verified gauge and earn that gauge's OMNI allocation.

Rewards are divided by share balance. They are not divided by a manually supplied USD value. As more shares enter the same gauge, the fixed reward budget is shared more widely and incentive APR falls naturally.

Staking the shares does not change the underlying vault's accounting or organic performance.

Verified gauges only

Vault applications may be open, but only vault tokens approved by Omnisea can become active gauges. A gauge can move through Pending, Verified, Paused, Deprecated, and Removed states.

Pausing or removing a gauge stops new participation without taking users' shares or rewards. Existing stakers retain a withdrawal and claim path. Verification means eligibility for incentives; it is not a promise that a vault has no risk.

Epochs and bootstrap rewards

Votes apply to the next recurring epoch. A voter can split up to 100% across several verified gauges and replace that allocation before it takes effect.

Before voting is active enough to distribute rewards meaningfully, Omnisea can publish a temporary bootstrap amount for a verified gauge. Each bootstrap amount belongs to a named epoch and expires with it.

Vault teams or other participants can also add a pre-funded sponsored OMNI reward to a verified gauge. Version 1 does not include a bribe marketplace.

What the product shows

The lock view shows locked OMNI, expiry, current and projected veOMNI, and next-epoch timing. The voting view shows current and upcoming gauge weights and estimated emissions. The staking view shows vault shares, stake, pending OMNI, gauge status, organic vault APY, and OMNI incentive APR as separate values.

The contracts and /incentives interface are ready but inactive. OMNI has not launched and no production controller address is configured.
