### Note:

* Gauges weight voting is conducted every two weeks. The beginning of an epoch, just like the rewards distribution, is at 00:00 UTC every even Thursdays
* The amount of incentives offered by each pair is divided among the total votes received by each pair
* Users can vote for pairs on different networks and receive incentives in different networks
* Rewards are distributed bi-weekly and must be claimed on Cakepie's "Claim" tab. Users will receive their incentives within 48 hours after each epoch ends
