Why are gauge weights so important?

Because those weights decide where the CSM inflation goes, it allows the DAO to control where most of the liquidity should go and balance liquidity. It's a powerful tool for voters that must be used responsibly.
The gauge weight is updated once a week on Thursdays.

Who can vote for gauge weights?

Anybody who has vote locked CSM can vote to direct its voting power towards one or multiple Cashmere pools.

How can I vote?

Go to DAO page.
Select the gauge you would like to put your voting weight towards, enter an amount in %, (100% the maximum) and confirm your transaction.

How often can I move my voting weight?

You can change your voting weight once every 10 days.
If the you don't want to change your vote in the future following periods, your vote will continue to be taken for each week in the same way. You don't need to make transaction every week.
