To note about voting rewards on Beethoven X
Beethoven X does voting rewards a little differently to most guage vote platforms. As well as having individual token rewards they'll often reward in LP tokens. For example the rewards for Staked Fantom & Circle Symphony (below)

Where we're voting this round
Bribe markets
There's a new memecoin on the block and it's Beethoven themed.
$LUDWIG: Ludwig Wif Goggles
https://ludwigwifgoggles.com/
And whilst it is confirmed to not be an official Beethoven token, it's got the blessing of the Beethoven team as goes the use of the assets, it's helmed by a number of Fantom ecosystem stalwarts, and it's been accepting into the sFTMx bounty program

How we voted
ROI ~ $47.94917 USD
We're also in the Beethoven LP
It's shaping up to be an interesting memecoin given the connection with Beethoven (although not official) and Beethoven's status as a major DEX and the leading LST provider on Fantom.
Least we not forget HOOPS is the dominant memecoin on Fantom and it's closely aligned with prominent DEX Equalizer.
