6.8 - Add Bribes / Incentives

Incentivise: https://app.usenest.xyz/trade/incentivise

What this is

Bribes (incentives) are a protocol tool used to attract veNEST votes, so a pool receives more NEST emissions next epoch. This is not a “user deposit to earn yield.”

Bribes are paid incentives, not deposits, to be used by protocols not users. Once submitted for an epoch, they are non-returnable.

Steps

1. Open Incentivise

2. Select the pool/gauge you want to incentivise

3. Choose the incentive token + amount

4. Approve token (first time only)

5. Confirm the transaction

6. Track vote weight → emissions → resulting liquidity depth during the epoch

Bribes reward voters. Emissions reward LPs. They’re separate flows.
