Weight Votes
Summary: Weight Votes are a type of vote within the Voting Program used to confer Weight to different types of nodes in the multiple Project Definition Hierarchies. The Weight that Asset, Feature, Position, and Pool nodes get from Weight Votes cast by the Community determines the Token Rewards available as incentives for those nodes. The term Weight Votes is a generalization describing any or all of the types of weight vote nodes, namely Pool Weight Vote, Position Weight Vote, Feature Weight Vote, and Asset Weight Vote.

Important: The Weight Power you drive into Weight Votes nodes is significant, as it is a measure of how much you wish to incentivize the referenced node. Nodes in Project Definition Hierarchies get Token Rewards proportional to the Weight Power they get from all Weight Votes they receive!
Tip: You may want to learn more about Token Rewards and Voting Power Flow! The page explains how Token Rewards are allocated to each node in the Project Definition Hierarchies depending on the Weight they get from Weight Votes.
Negative Voting
If you believe a node has been given too much weight, you may use Weight Power also for negative voting. Weight Power marked as negative will compensate the same amount of regular Weight Power allocated by other users. To vote negatively, change the configuration of your Weight Vote node like in this example:
{ "percentage": 25, "negative": true } Note: Negative Voting should only be applied in exceptional cases, e.g. to counteract misconduct of other users. Please do not use Negative Voting as a standard within your Governance workflow.
