Turning emissions on requires pools to be ready to receive emissions. That needs [LiquidityGauge](https://github.com/yield-basis/yb-core/blob/master/contracts/dao/LiquidityGauge.vy) smart contracts to be able to receive emissions which is achieved by calling add\_gauge in [GaugeController](https://github.com/yield-basis/yb-core/blob/master/contracts/dao/GaugeController.vy).

After this, governance participants who have veYB need to [vote for gauges](https://yieldbasis.com/vote), and YB can go live.
