# General FAQ

## What is Hidden Hand?&#x20;

Hidden Hand is DeFi's premier marketplace for vote incentives. It facilitates transactions between protocols and token holders who are looking to earn rewards for their voting power.

## **What is a bribe in the context of Hidden Hand?**&#x20;

A bribe is a reward offered by a protocol to token holders in return for their voting power. This incentivizes participation and helps protocols make important decisions on token emissions.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
It's important to note that Hidden Hand primarily focuses on where token emissions should be directed, not on general governance votes.
{% endhint %}

## Which networks does Hidden Hand support?&#x20;

Hidden Hand supports Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon zkEVM, BNB Chain, Fantom, Gnosis, Linea, and Fraxtal.

## How do I use Hidden Hand?&#x20;

If you're a voter, check out [Mechanics](/mechanics.md). If you're a briber, check out [Bribe Types](/bribe-types.md).&#x20;

## When will I receive my Hidden Hand rewards?&#x20;

Once a protocol's voting epoch concludes, rewards, also known as bribes, are typically distributed within a day to all active participants. This delay is due to a built-in security feature—a three-hour time lock on the rewards distributor. If you've opted to use the Yield Harvester, there's an *additional* three-hour time lock, totaling to at least six hours before you receive your rewards.

## Can I use a contract wallet on Hidden Hand?&#x20;

Yes! However, it's important that you set reward forwarding in order to prevent any issues. Please refer to [Reward Forwarding](/reward-forwarding.md) for a tutorial.

## What is the 'efficiency' metric?

Efficiency is a metric for those who deposit incentives for gauges. It represents the rewards distributed to the gauge per $1 of incentives.
