Vote for a Manager

The delegate-to-manager feature is a core enhancement made possible by Orvex’s updated vote-escrow mechanics. It allows veORVX holders to delegate their voting power to a manager, who can then design strategies and vote on their behalf.

This is aimed at users who prefer a more “set-and-monitor” experience rather than actively re-allocating votes every epoch, while still receiving rewards tied to weekly gauges.

The system offers:

• Simplicity and efficiency
  Delegation removes the need to plan and execute votes every epoch, cutting down on both time and gas usage. Once delegation is set, your voting power is managed for you according to the manager’s strategy.

• Strategy with professional oversight
  By delegating to a manager, veORVX holders can lean on specialised strategies for vote placement, aiming to make their voting power more effective and better aligned with their risk/return goals.

• Flexible, user-centric choice
  Users can choose from a curated list of managers, each with their own approach to maximising rewards and liquidity impact. This gives veORVX holders options for how their voting power is used, without additional protocol fees for delegation.

The initial manager set may include partners such as Gamma, ICHI and the Orvex team itself, with the possibility of adding more managers over time. As the roster expands, competition between managers should encourage:

• Better performance and clearer strategies
• More efficient gauge targeting
• Stronger alignment between veORVX holders, LPs and protocols building on Status

The goal is to create a delegated voting layer that stays democratic and transparent, while making it easier for Orvex participants to stay engaged and earn from the gauge system without constant micro-management.
