# VeDelegate

veDelegate is a smart contract-based staking and delegation platform for the VeBetterDAO ecosystem, built to maximize your voting rewards and simplify participation in governance. Whether you're a casual participant or a long-term DAO supporter, veDelegate gives you flexible options to earn VOT3 rewards without the hassle of weekly voting.

### Three Ways to Stake with veDelegate

#### 1. **Regular Pools**

Stake your B3TR tokens without any lock-up. veDelegate votes on your behalf based on your preferences, and you earn a share of the weekly rewards — no manual voting required. Perfect for users who want flexibility and passive income.

* **No lock-up period**
* **Earn voting rewards automatically**
* **Set your preferred voting strategy**

#### 2. **veB3TR Pools**

When you deposit B3TR into the veB3TR pool, you receive veB3TR tokens in return. These tokens represent your stake and accrue value each week as voting rewards are added to the pool. You can use veB3TR across the ecosystem while still earning rewards — all without needing to claim or restake.

* **Liquid staking — your veB3TR can be used elsewhere**
* **Value of veB3TR increases weekly**
* **⚠️ Reduced governance impact compared to regular pools**

#### 3. **Lock-2-Earn (Fixed-Term Staking)**

For users ready to commit long-term, lock-2-earn offers fixed-term staking of B3TR with multipliers up to 3×. The longer you lock, the more you earn.

Each stake is held in a Token-Bound Account (TBA) for transparency and accountability. You can open up to three concurrent stakes, and rewards are distributed weekly based on your weighted stake.

* **The best rewards in the ecosystem**
* **Higher rewards for longer commitments**
* **Supports token price stability**

### Why Use veDelegate?

* **No More Manual Voting** — Just stake and set your preferences. We handle the rest.
* **Earn More** — From pooled voting power to NFT-based boosters, veDelegate is built to maximize your VOT3 rewards.
* **Flexible or Committed** — Choose between regular staking, veB3TR pools, or fixed-term lockups based on your goals.
