# Voting in Meta Pool

The Meta Pool DAO operates on NEAR, but you can have Voting Power on both NEAR and Ethereum network. Below we explain how to vote on each network.

## Voting with Voting Power in NEAR network

1. If you don't have Voting Power yet, connect your NEAR wallet to lock your mpDAO tokens and get Voting Power (see [here](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/my-votes/..#how-to-use-mpdao-vote) how to lock your mpDAO). 
2. Go to the Meta Pool product you want to vote for. Vote for [validators](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/vote-for-validators), [Grants](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/grants), [MPIPs](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/meta-pool-improvement-proposals-mpips), or projects in the Launchpad (*Returning soon*) to get rewards.

You are already participating with your vote in Meta Pool DAO.

#### You can see your voted positions in My Votes tab from My Votes section.

## Voting with Voting Power in Ethereum network

In order to vote with your Voting Power in Ethereum, you need to ***delegate*** your Ethereum account and have it represented by a NEAR account.

1. If you don't have Voting Power yet, connect your Ethereum wallet to lock your mpDAO tokens and get Voting Power (see [here](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/my-votes/..#how-to-use-mpdao-vote) how to lock your mpDAO and to [get mpDAO](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/how-to-get-mpdao)).
2. Delegate your Ethereum account to be represented by a NEAR account. [Here](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/my-votes/delegate-your-ethereum-address-wallet) we explain how.&#x20;
3. Vote with your Ethereum mpDAO with your NEAR representative account.
4. Go to the Meta Pool product you want to vote for. Vote for [validators](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/vote-for-validators), [Grants](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/grants), [MPIPs](https://docs.metapool.app/master/meta-pool-ecosystem/vote-governance/meta-pool-improvement-proposals-mpips), or projects in the Launchpad to get rewards.

## **Refresh your Votes**

### Phase 1: Vote Position Timestamp

The first phase of the **mpip-16** development added to all voting positions the corresponding date on which the transaction that originates the voting position is signed. With this new data included in our contract, we can now perform a cleanup of DAO participants’ voting positions whose age exceeds the 60-day threshold.

### Phase 2: Refresh Functionality

The second phase of the **mpip-16** development added the **“refresh”** functionality to the contract, allowing DAO participants to revalidate their voting positions on Validators. This updates the issue date of this type of voting position and prevents it from being cleaned up due to age.

> ⚠️ Voting positions on **grants & memes** cannot be revalidated.

### Phase 3: Cleanup Bot

The third phase of the **mpip-16** development consisted of creating a bot that runs once a day, scanning all voting positions and deleting those older than the 60-day threshold.

{% hint style="info" %}
All voting positions were updated with an issue date of **08/01/2025**. Therefore, after 60 days from that date, the votes will be deleted (with the possibility of revalidating voting positions on Validators).
{% endhint %}
