Earn flows guide

This guide walks the full Earn path in the Aurove app: create a liquid position (lock tokens or deposit a veNFT), read balances and rewards, then redeem when the weekly settlement window opens.

Create PositionDeposit position (veNFT) or Lock tokens (BTC / MEZO ERC-20)

Prerequisites

  1. Connect a wallet and switch to the network shown in the app header (Mezo Testnet while the public app targets testnet).
  2. Hold BTC or MEZO to lock, or a veBTC / veMEZO NFT to deposit.
  3. For Academy personalization only, use Sign In (Earn deposits do not require it).

Flow 1 — Deposit an existing veNFT

Use this when you already hold a Mezo Earn lock as a veNFT and want liquid Aurove inventory without locking fresh ERC-20.

Create Position card in Deposit position mode for BTC
Create Position → Deposit position: pick BTC or MEZO, select an existing veNFT, then Deposit position.

Steps

  1. Open Earn.
  2. On Create Position, leave (or select) Deposit position.
  3. Choose BTC (veBTC → avBTCm) or MEZO (veMEZO → avMEZOm).
  4. Under Existing position, select veBTC #… / veMEZO #… (count shows how many are available).
  5. Confirm You will receive, then Deposit position → approve the NFT if prompted → confirm the deposit.
  6. Refresh Your Liquid Positions to see the new avBTCm / avMEZOm balance.

Product details: veBTC · veMEZO.

Flow 2 — Lock BTC tokens

Convert wallet BTC into a managed liquid position (avBTCm) at the managed epoch bucket (UI: 4 epochs for BTC).

Create Position Lock tokens mode with BTC amount
Create Position → Lock tokens → BTC: enter amount (and optional % slider), review You will receive avBTCm, then Create a liquid position.

Steps

  1. Create Position → Lock tokens → BTC.
  2. Enter an amount (or use the balance percent slider). Confirm balance is sufficient.
  3. Check You will receive (1 BTC locks to 1 avBTCm exposure in the managed product).
  4. Create a liquid position → approve BTC for the Ledger if needed → confirm deposit.

Flow 3 — Lock MEZO tokens

Same card path with MEZO selected. Managed max epochs for MEZO is longer (UI: 208 epochs). You receive avMEZOm.

Create Position Lock tokens mode for MEZO
Lock tokens → MEZO: amount entry and Create a liquid position mint avMEZOm.

Flow 4 — Your liquid positions

After a successful deposit, positions appear under Your Liquid Positions with balances, reward/APY fields, and redemption status.

Example liquid balances: avBTCm and avMEZOm cards with Available / Total balance and redemption status.
  • Available balance — redeemable share of the product (respects redeem locks).
  • Total balance — full liquid product exposure held.
  • Tranche APY / Rewards deposited — estimates from reward funding history when available.
  • Redemption row — either waiting for the window or open for redeem.

Flow 5 — Claimables and ID20 gauges

Claimables and ID20 gauge rewards panels on Earn
Claimables aggregates RewardSink balances; ID20 gauge rewards show per-wrapper claim state (including Activation required).
  • Shows aggregated rewards across held liquid tranches.
  • Claim runs claimRewards on each product RewardSink that has a balance.
  • Empty state: “No claimable rewards found across your fraction tranches.”

Background on yield routing: Managed yield.

Flow 6 — Redeem in the settlement window

Redemptions are only allowed during the weekly settlement window (opens 10 hours into each epoch, lasts 6 hours). When the window is open, position cards show Redemption window open and expand to redeem controls.

Liquid positions showing Redemption window open
During settlement: each product card shows Redemption window open. Expand with + to set amount / inventory and redeem.

Steps

  1. Confirm the UI shows Redemption window open (not “Waiting for weekly settlement window”).
  2. Expand the product card redemption section.
  3. BTC (avBTCm) — enter a redeem amount (editable; vault may split locks).
  4. MEZO (avMEZOm) — select vault veNFTs to release; amount follows selected inventory.
  5. Submit redeem → confirm. Shares burn and underlying inventory returns per Ledger/Vault rules.

Redeem locksUnits minted during a fee-change freeze may be locked from the next settlement window

Flow 7 — Outside the window

Outside settlement, redemption is disabled. Cards show Waiting for weekly settlement window (or similar await labels). Deposits and claims still work.

Liquid positions waiting for weekly settlement window
Outside settlement: Redemption row shows Waiting for weekly settlement window; Create Position remains available.

Limitations

  • Cannot redeem outside the settlement window.
  • Partial veNFT exit without depositing first is a Swap-side flow (tranche sell), not Earn redeem.
  • Gauge activation may require separate actions before gauge rewards accrue.
  • Estimated APY is UI guidance, not a guaranteed rate.
