# Voting

$veSONUS holders will place their votes once a week on the selection of LP pairings they would like emissions to be distributed to. Each pool will get a determined amount of votes and the share of the total votes will equal the share of the epoch's $SONUS emissions directed to that epoch.\
All trading fees accrue in the epoch following the vote snapshot.

#### Voting Strategies <a href="#voting-strategies" id="voting-strategies"></a>

* Voting power (“ve”) decays linearly over the 104 weeks ( 2 years ) of lock.
* Votes don't carry over to the next epoch! So you have to revote before the end of each epoch.
* To earn maximum bribe & fees rewards from any pool in the epoch, you must max-lock your nft and re-cast your vote each epoch.
* Its generally recommended to vote on tuesdays or wednesdays to wait for the best bribe & fee offerings to show up.

{% hint style="info" %}
NEVER reset on an epoch where you want to vote! Resetting is only needed when the NFT will be transfered, merged into another or split into new ones.
{% endhint %}

### Bribes <a href="#bribes" id="bribes"></a>

Bribes are in addition to fees and will be claimable after the snapshot occurs at Wednesday 23:59 UTC, the end of each epoch.
