About this Chart

Each epoch, veAERO holders direct their voting power to one or more gauged pools. This chart tracks that distribution over time.

Pools are ranked by total voting power received over the trailing 8 settled epochs. The top 15 appear individually; everything else is grouped into a single Other bucket. Ranking by recent activity rather than lifetime totals keeps the labels honest — pools that were prominent early on but have since lost governance attention fall out of view, while pools actively competing for votes stay visible.

The current epoch is excluded. Voting power accumulates throughout the week and only settles after the epoch closes on Wednesday 23:59 UTC. An in-progress epoch would understate participation and distort relative rankings.

Because voting power directly determines each gauge's share of weekly AERO emissions, persistent concentration in a handful of pools — typically large native-stablecoin pairs backed by deep bribe spend — is expected. The combined Other slice shows how much governance attention actually reaches the long tail of the gauge set.
