Understand Bedrock DAO governance

Bedrock DAO uses an Aragon-style governance model where BR holders can stake for veBR and participate in votes about incentives and the protocol. This overview distinguishes token ownership from governance participation.

Governance starts with BR

BR is the underlying governance and ecosystem token. A wallet holding BR has exposure to the token, but its voting capabilities depend on whether it has entered the staking and vote-escrow process. The DAO uses veBR to represent governance participation and align voting influence with longer-term commitment.

Aragon and the veBR model

The governance design uses Aragon concepts such as epochs, vote-escrowed positions and gauges. veBR holders can direct voting power toward eligible incentive destinations during voting windows. A governance result is separate from the later distribution phase, so voting does not imply immediate payment.

What the hub shows

The dashboard aggregates locked BR, voting participation, token holders, rewards and current staking indicators. These values are dynamic snapshots, not fixed yields or promises. The Stake, Vote and Rewards tabs each answer a different user question.

How to participate

Read the lock period and exit cooldown; stake BR only after reviewing the live terms; wait for voting eligibility; and inspect the current voting window before selecting a gauge. Review reward totals separately once a distribution cycle has completed.

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

What is Bedrock DAO governance?

Bedrock DAO governance uses BR staking, veBR voting power and an epoch-based process to coordinate protocol decisions and incentive direction.

Do I need veBR to participate in voting?

The documented governance model uses eligible veBR positions for voting participation rather than BR ownership alone.
