Hi everyone,

I’ve been away from the scene for a few months and just checked on my YFI staked in the (old?) governance vault.

What’s the current status with governance? And how can we claim our fees from governance staking if it says “You need to have voted recently in order to claim rewards” but AFAIK, there’s no way to vote besides signaling sentiment?

Thanks

That limitation was removed. You can claim by interacting directly with the contract on etherscan.

In case you don’t trust the address I posted you can navigate to the staking page and use that address.

I’ve even re-read [https://www.learnyearn.finance/governance-yips/how-to-vote-yfi](https://www.learnyearn.finance/governance-yips/how-to-vote-yfi) and followed the flowchart with my pinching_hand eyes But I cannot click the button that says “claim rewards”. Anyone else have this issue?
