Core Capabilities

Locking HYDX

Lock HYDX to receive veHYDX (vote-escrowed HYDX)
Receive an NFT representing your locked position
Gain voting power starting next epoch
Rolling locks (Type 1) provide maximum voting power
Auto-extends to maintain 2-year lock with no manual management
Earning power = 1.3x voting power for fee distributions

Reference: references/locking.md

Voting on Pools

Vote to allocate voting power across liquidity pools
Direct HYDX emissions based on your votes
Earn fees from supported pools
Optimize for maximum fee returns
Natural language voting by pool name

Reference: references/voting.md

Single-Sided Liquidity (ICHI Vaults)

Deposit a single token into an auto-managed vault
Earn oHYDX yields on your deposited value
Vault manages both sides of the liquidity position
Withdraw with up to 70/30 split (deposit token / counter token)
No need to source both sides of a pair

Reference: references/single-sided-liquidity.md

Claiming and Managing Rewards

Check unclaimed oHYDX across all incentive campaigns
Claim all eligible rewards in a single transaction
Convert oHYDX into a veHYDX lock position via
```
exerciseVe
```
Exercising oHYDX requires a discounted ETH payment and produces a rolling veHYDX lock

Pool Information API

Get current liquidity pool data:

bash

bankr prompt "What are the top Hydrex pools by projected fees?"
bankr prompt "Show me all Hydrex liquidity pools with their voting weights"

Key fields for voting optimization:

```
address
```
— Pool address (voting target)
```
title
```
— Pool name (e.g., "HYDX/USDC")
```
gauge.projectedFeeInUsd
```
— Primary optimization metric
```
gauge.liveVotingWeight
```
— Current competition for fees
```
gauge.votingAprProjection
```
— Expected APR from voting

Efficiency formula:

projectedFeeInUsd / liveVotingWeight

= fee revenue per vote

Common Workflows

First-Time Setup

Get HYDX — Acquire HYDX tokens on Base
Approve HYDX — Approve veHYDX contract to spend HYDX
Lock HYDX — Create rolling lock (Type 1) for voting power
Wait for epoch — Voting power activates next epoch (~weekly)
Vote — Allocate voting power to pools

Example:

# Step 1: Check HYDX balance
"What's my HYDX balance on Base?"

# Step 2 & 3: Approve and lock in one go
"Lock 1000 HYDX on Hydrex with rolling lock"

# Step 4: Wait for next epoch (typically next Thursday 00:00 UTC)

# Step 5: Vote optimally
"Vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize fees"

Optimized Voting

When you want maximum returns:

Vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize my fee earnings

Bankr will:

Fetch all pools from API
Calculate efficiency (fees per vote) for each pool
Rank pools by efficiency
Allocate votes to top pools
Execute vote transaction

Named Pool Voting

Vote by pool name instead of addresses:

Vote 100% on HYDX/USDC on Hydrex

Vote 60% on HYDX/USDC and 40% on cbBTC/WETH on Hydrex

Vote 33/33/34 on HYDX/USDC, cbBTC/WETH, and USDC/USDbC on Hydrex

Changing Votes

Reallocate your voting power:

Change my Hydrex vote to 100% on cbBTC/WETH

This will reset current votes and apply new allocation.

Optimization Strategies

Simple Strategy

Vote 100% on the pool with highest

projectedFeeInUsd / liveVotingWeight

ratio.

Example:

Vote on the single best Hydrex pool by fees

Balanced Strategy

Split votes equally across top 3-5 efficient pools for diversification.

Example:

Vote equally on top 3 Hydrex pools by projected fees

Weighted Strategy

Allocate votes proportional to efficiency scores.

Example:

Vote on Hydrex pools weighted by their fee efficiency

Understanding Voting Power

How Voting Power Works

Lock HYDX → Receive veHYDX NFT
veHYDX amount = Your voting power
Rolling locks (Type 1) = Maximum voting power with auto-extension
Earning power = 1.3x voting power (used for fee distributions)
Next epoch = Voting power activates
Vote allocation = Direct emissions to pools

Checking Your Power

bash

# Check voting power
bankr prompt "What's my Hydrex voting power?"

# Check earning power (1.3x voting power)
bankr prompt "What's my Hydrex earning power?"

# Check veHYDX NFT balance
bankr prompt "Show my veHYDX NFT balance"

# Check a specific NFT's earning power
bankr prompt "How much earning power does my veHYDX NFT #5 have?"

Display to users: Show earning power (voting power × 1.3) when discussing fee earnings, as this is what determines your share of distributions.

Vote Proportions

Vote weights are in basis points (10000 = 100%):

User Says	Proportions
"100% on X"	`[10000]`
"50/50 on X and Y"	`[5000, 5000]`
"60/40 on X and Y"	`[6000, 4000]`
"33/33/34 on X, Y, Z"	`[3333, 3333, 3334]`
"25% each on 4 pools"	`[2500, 2500, 2500, 2500]`

Proportions must sum to exactly 10000.

Epoch System

Hydrex operates on epochs:

Duration: Typically 1 week
Voting power activation: Next epoch after locking
Vote changes: Respect vote delay between changes
Epoch boundary: Usually Thursday 00:00 UTC

Example Prompts

"Exercise my oHYDX rewards into veHYDX"

Tips

For New Users

Start small: Lock a small amount first to learn the flow
Rolling locks: Use Type 1 for maximum voting power with auto-extension
Wait for epoch: Voting power activates at next epoch boundary
Let Bankr optimize: "Vote optimally" handles everything automatically
Earning power: Remember your fee earnings are based on 1.3x your voting power

For Active Voters

Track efficiency: Monitor
```
projectedFeeInUsd / liveVotingWeight
```
Diversify votes: Split across 3-5 pools to reduce risk
Watch bribes: Check API for additional incentive opportunities
Respect delays: Vote delay prevents too-frequent changes
Use pool names: Easier than remembering addresses

For Maximizers

Efficiency > absolute fees: $5k fees with 100k weight beats $10k fees with 500k weight
Use earning power: Calculate earnings with 1.3x voting power for accurate projections
Rebalance periodically: Pool efficiency changes over time
Consider liquidity: High-volume pools may be more stable
Factor in bribes: Check
```
gauge.bribes
```
for extra rewards
Rolling locks: Type 1 automatically maintains 2-year duration for max power

Natural Language Voting Guide for Bankr

When processing Hydrex voting requests:

Fetch pool data from
```
https://api.hydrex.fi/strategies
```
Get user earning power: Query voting power, multiply by 1.3
Parse user intent:
- Pool names → Look up addresses in API (
```
title
```
  field)
- "Optimally" / "maximize fees" → Calculate efficiency rankings
- Percentages → Convert to basis points (60% = 6000)
Validate proportions sum to 10000

Execute vote via voter contract

0xc69E3eF39E3fFBcE2A1c570f8d3ADF76909ef17b

When displaying earnings projections, always use earning power (voting power × 1.3), not raw voting power.

Example optimization logic:

bash

curl -s https://api.hydrex.fi/strategies | jq '[.[] |
  select(.gauge.projectedFeeInUsd != null and .gauge.liveVotingWeight > 0) |
  {
    address,
    title,
    efficiency: (.gauge.projectedFeeInUsd / .gauge.liveVotingWeight)
  }
] | sort_by(-.efficiency) | .[0:3]'

💡 Pro Tip: Efficiency (fees per vote) matters more than absolute fees. Say "vote optimally on Hydrex" and let Bankr handle the math. Remember your earnings are based on earning power (1.3x voting power).

⚠️ Important: Rolling locks (Type 1) automatically extend to maintain 2-year duration. This maximizes your voting power without manual management.

🚀 Quick Win: Lock HYDX with rolling lock, wait for next epoch, then say "vote optimally on Hydrex to maximize fees" — Bankr calculates using your earning power and does the rest.
