I lock MULTI for 4 years, why am I getting less veMULTIs rather than 1 MULTI : 1veMULTI** It is because locktime is rounded down to weeks. The locking period recorded by the veMULTI system is shorter than the actual one. **4. How many rewards will be distributed?** According to the veMULTI proposal, 45% of the quarterly bridge fees will be distributed as rewards and dispersed every quarter. $3,901,975.04 bridge fees from Q1 2022 will be distributed in Q2 2022. **5.

For example, if you stake MULTI before the first snapshot on May 12th at 02:00 AM UTC, you will be able to claim rewards afterward.
**10. How many times can I claim rewards?** You can claim rewards multiple times during the weekly emission period, but you need to pay attention to the gas fee of your claiming tx, which is proportionate to the number of weeks you claimed. **11. What could I do if I forget to claim rewards?** Your rewards build up and you can claim whenever. **12.
