# Gauge Mechanism on Backprop Subnet

## Lifecycle of Gauge as a Miner

### Initialization

Created by GaugeFactory upon initialization of new Liquidity Pools. Pool Creators can then register the Gauge as a Miner on Backprop Subnet to be eligible for subnet emissions from Bittensor. 

### Maintenance

Pool Creators should deposit and replenish external bribes pools regularly to continue retain the votes of the ve-dTAO holders. 

### Deregistration

In the event that a new gauge is registered on the Backprop Subnet, the non-immune gauge with the least amount of votes will be replaced and no longer receive emissions from Backprop Subnet for downstream distribution. The gauge can be re-registered in the next registration window. 

## Supported gauges

Our gauges supports the following pools, with more to come in near future:

* Volatile V2
* Curve Stableswap
* \[COMING SOON] CLMM e.g. Uniswap V3, Trader Joe Liquidity Book model
* \[COMING SOON] Generic Pool
