Who we voted for
How we voted
How it ended up
We actually ended up with more rewards than we'd projected! An usual but impossible occurrence because votes can change at any time before the epoch ends.
We'll add the $TLX to our existing holdings.

Assessing the rewards
We definitely shouldn't vote for this.
This is totally those inflated vAPRs we talk about.
We've even featured wOptiDoge in one of our 'Those high vAPRs' sections!
And yet.... the pull is strong with this one. It just won't die. That's bullish in memecoin land (even though, overall, you should be bearish on all memecoins).
These rewards will take us closer to 3M in wOptiDoge.
Those boosted vAPRs....
(see above. Ha!)

It's official: We have memecoin fever this time out.
$OKAYEG
Your standard not-dead-yet memecoin. This one likes frogs and eggs. For some reason lost in the minutiae of some popular culture niche somewhere.

Those super new vAPRs...

Sometimes a high vAPR without any trading fees isn't dodgy, it's just super new. Reflect is synthetics protocol only just launched on Base.
