GaugeProxy

GaugeProxy is used for indirect ownership of liquidity gauges.

Deploying Gauges¶

Gauges can be directly deployed through the Factory contract. However, deploying a gauge via this contract offers the benefit of automatically adding a gauge manager for the gauge. Without this, an easy migration is necessary.

Permissionless Rewards¶

LiquidityGauges V4 and later versions introduce the capability for a distributor address to add permissionless rewards to a gauge. When a gauge is deployed via the Factory, the deployer (msg.sender) is automatically set as the gauge manager. This address can call the add_rewards function within the OwnerProxy to add both reward tokens and distributors.

To deposit reward tokens, the distributor must call the deposit_reward_token function within the specific gauge.
