🤲 How to Delegate to the Community Pool
Delegate veV from your locked $V wallet and check the steps needed to receive rewards.
Delegate your locked $V voting power to the Community Pool from My delegation; your $V stays in your lock account. The system takes reward snapshots automatically for you, so you do not need to take them manually. It may take up to two weeks after delegation for automatic snapshots to begin.
Prepare Your Wallet
Use the wallet that holds your $V lock and keep some SOL available for transaction fees. If you have no lock, create one in the Vote Locker. vPoints cannot be locked; exercise them to purchase $V first.
Delegation applies to the wallet's voting power. You cannot split it between the pool and another delegate or delegate only a chosen amount of $V from that lock. A separate wallet is needed for a separate lock or delegation choice.
Delegate Your veV
Open My Delegation
Visit the Community Pool and open My delegation. The interface calls the feature V-pool (Figure 9.21).

Connect the Wallet Holding Your Lock
Select Connect Wallet and choose your wallet. Confirm that the connected address is the one that holds your locked $V (Figure 9.22).

Review and Approve Delegation
Check Your voting power and Current delegate. Choose Delegate to pool, review the transaction in your wallet and approve it if the details match your choice. Wait for confirmation, then check that Current delegate identifies the pool.
Allow Automatic Snapshots to Begin
Once your delegation is confirmed, the system takes reward snapshots on your behalf. No manual snapshot transaction is required. Allow up to two weeks for snapshots to begin; you can check them in Your pool epochs. Follow How to Claim Community Pool Rewards when rewards become available.
Holders do not need to press Snapshot now after delegating or repeat a manual snapshot step each epoch. The system handles snapshots automatically.
Wait for the First Reward
The two-week waiting period is for automatic snapshots to begin. A reward also requires paid validator invoices and a finalized reward epoch, so a snapshot does not mean VLP is immediately available to claim.
Use Pool status to follow participation and reward epochs. At launch, claiming is manual through the website.
Update Your Lock or Leave the Pool
Adding $V to your existing lock keeps its expiry. Extending it changes the expiry for every token in that lock, up to the maximum duration. Neither action creates a second lock. You can check your veV and recorded snapshots in My delegation; snapshot recording remains automatic.
To stop future pool delegation, choose Undelegate in My delegation and approve that transaction in your wallet. Undelegating does not unlock $V or shorten the lock. Check your recorded reward epochs separately; use the reward guide for any available claims.
