Epoch
A fixed time period used in DeFi protocol mechanics — typically weekly — during which votes are tallied, rewards are distributed, and parameters are updated. Curve Finance, Velodrome, Aerodrome, and similar ve(3,3) protocols operate in weekly epochs: veToken holders vote at the start of each epoch to direct emissions, and rewards are distributed at the epoch's end.
