Fund an incentive

  1. Verify the pool's gauge and its fee or bribe voting reward address.
  2. Select a supported reward token and review the target reward period.
  3. Approve the reward contract and submit the corresponding reward notification.
  4. Confirm the deposit in ArcScan; it is an incentive deposit, not a refundable trade quote.

Claim into USDC

A call helper can batch gauge claims, fee claims and bribe claims, then swap quoted liquid reward amounts into USDC. Existing USDC rewards need no conversion. Tokens without an executable route remain unconverted, and ve lock rebases are not part of the liquid conversion flow.

Simulate before/after balances to quote only the rewards being claimed. Set a minimum USDC output for every swap. A changing claimable amount can leave a remainder after the quoted amount is swapped.
