# Gauges & Rewards

### Gauge Voting

$veBASO holders decide which liquidity pools receive emissions in a given epoch by voting on their preferred liquidity pool gauges. $BASO emissions will be distributed proportionally to the total votes a liquidity pool receives.

### Rewards

There are 4 types of rewards on Baso Finance: Emissions, Fees, Bribes, and Rebases.

### Rewards claim

Details for reward claim can be found in the&#x20;

### Whitelisting

While Baso supports permissionless liquidity pool and gauge creation, these can only include whitelisted tokens. The protocol will launch with an extensive list of pre-whitelisted tokens, including those from partner protocols.

### Commissaire

Requirements for whitelisting are critical to ensuring that the protocol cannot be exploited by actors attempting to game emissions.

To support the health of the protocol and ecosystem, the Commissaire (a Curve-esque Emergency DAO) will have the right to disable hostile gauges.

The Commissaire will initially consist of seven members from the Baso team and prominent figures from within the Optimism community.
