Boosting

Users that deposit vault LP token in gauge and hold veLVLQ are eligible to earn boosted token reward from the gauge allocation. It is one of the ways LevelQ rewards long term believers in the protocol's success. The boosting is determined by the value deposited vs the vault TVL while taking into consideration the users voting weight compared to the total vault voting weight.

The LVLQ reward allocated to each gauge strategy is referred to as its "gauge weight." veLVLQ holder can distribute their voting power across multiple gauges or a single gauge. This allows veLVLQ holders who are the most long term users of the protocol to have control over the future LVLQ emission rate. Each veLVLQ is equal to 1 vote.

Additionally, the gauge system lowers the sell pressure of LevelQ pairs where the majority of rewards are sold off since those LPs stakers will not have veLVLQ to continue voting for their pair. This system strongly favors LP stakers who continually stake their rewards for veFXS to increase their pool's gauge weight. Essentially, LVLQ gauges align incentives of veLVLQ holders so that the most long term oriented LVLQ holders control where LVLQ emissions go.
