Votes on Blaze are epoch-based.
At the start of each new epoch, your vote allocations reset — they do not carry forward.
What Happens Each New Epoch
When a new epoch begins:
Your previous vote allocations reset to 0
You must submit votes again to support creators in the new epoch
Any votes you submit in the new epoch become locked for that epoch
How to Change Votes (Within the Same Epoch)
Under the cumulative locking system:
You can increase your votes during the epoch
You cannot decrease, reset, or remove votes once submitted
Passes used for voting cannot be unstaked until the epoch ends
To add votes:
Go to Voting
Increase your allocation (whole-pass units only)
Submit to lock your updated total
When Changes Are Blocked
During the final 1 hour before the epoch ends, voting is locked:
❌ You can’t submit or change votes
❌ You can’t activate/deactivate passes
You’ll see “Voting is locked” in the UI.
