2.6.2 - Hype Engine Vault (HEV)
The Hype Engine Vault (HEV) is the default “set-and-forget” path for nest exchange users who lock NEST and hold veNEST.
It does three things in one place:
Distributes MEGAHYPE rewards: Trading fees earned by veNEST flow through the HYPE Engine, where a portion of fee value is converted into MEGAHYPE for aligned stakers.
Auto-votes for you (optimally): Your veNEST voting power is automatically allocated to maximise incentive outcomes, so you don’t need to manage votes manually.
Compounding your position: Rewards are used to buy back NEST and compound into you veNEST position within the vault.
Keeps participation simple: You stay aligned and receive rewards without constant governance micromanagement.
If you want to vote manually or do certain position actions, you may need to exit HEV first (Dashboard → Manage position), then re-enter afterward.
HEV lock window (important if you want to withdraw)
If you deposit your veNEST into HEV, it is locked from Wednesday 23:00 UTC (epoch end) until Monday 00:00 UTC to stop users manipulating the system.
So if you want to switch back to manual voting, plan around that window.
