Bedrock governance epoch timing

Bedrock DAO documentation describes two-week governance epochs: a voting phase followed by a reward distribution and claim phase. This guide clarifies the timeline for veBR holders.

Week 1 — voting

During the first part of an epoch, eligible veBR holders allocate their governance weight among available gauges. The documentation describes voting-power accumulation over time, subject to limits; staking at the last moment should not be assumed to provide the same effective weight as a longer-standing position.

Week 2 — distribution

The second part is dedicated to distributing incentives and making eligible rewards claimable according to prior results. Users should distinguish this phase from a new voting window. A wallet may have no rewards even if voting activity is visible across the DAO.

Before the next epoch

Review the displayed clock and UTC deadline rather than assuming that every cycle begins at a fixed local date. If a new stake is made during a cycle, warmup and other eligibility requirements may affect when it can participate.

What to verify

Check the live Vote page for available gauges, voting deadlines and current totals; use the Rewards page for any claimable distribution. The airdrop eligibility flow is separate from recurring DAO voting rewards.

Use the governance dashboard for changing figures and the staking, voting or rewards pages for wallet-specific actions. Historical program details are provided as reference material.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a Bedrock DAO governance epoch?

The documented model describes a two-week cycle split between voting and distribution-related phases.

Can I rely on an old epoch screenshot for the current deadline?

No. Voting windows and active epoch data should be verified in the live Governance Hub because historical screenshots can become outdated.
