Thank you for choosing Curve! We at CVX welcome you and are excited to help you onboard.

```

```

Proposals have three states: Active, Passed, and Executed:

(with our backing, no need to consider the "denied" possibility)
```

```
**A)** Once the proposal passes on Convex (3 days), Convex will vote on Curve. Once it passes on Curve (total 7 days), then you will need to Execute the Proposal. Click the "enact" button.

Alternatively, you can click "execute" on curvemonitor, it's the same thing.

**B)** Next, you need to Add Gauge Weight with veCRV, so you will need someone with veCRV. Any amount will do. Go to the link below and copy paste your gauge address. Then click submit.

```

```
**C)** After a few minutes (maybe 10 minutes max), your pool will appear in Convex. Now, you may deploy the pool on Convex. Warning, this is gas intensive, so it may be prudent to wait until gas is relatively cheap.

All done, deployed!
