# Bribing

Dot Dot has bribing functionality natively supported in the protocol. Bribes can be posted to incentivize [locked DDD holders](/about/ddd-token.md) to direct EPX emissions to certain Ellipsis Pools in the [weekly DDD voting epochs](/about/voting.md).

### Rules

* Anyone can post a bribe for a particular Ellipsis pool.
* Bribes can be of any token denomination, and of any quantity.
* Posted bribes go into effect immediately and last until the end of the current (or yet to be started) Vote Epoch.
* Every Thursday at 00:00:00 UTC, the Vote Epoch ends, and bribes that were previously posted are streamed linearly over 7 days to the DDD lockers that voted on the pool in question.
* DDD lockers claim a share of a bribe in proportion to their share of the total voting power that was allocated to the pool.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Do not** post bribes shortly before the Vote Epoch ends on Thursdays 00:00:00 UTC, as most users will already have voted and the bribe will not be effective.
