Conviction multiplier

The factor applied to capital when calculating a conviction vote's influence.

In plain language

No-conviction voting generally carries reduced influence, while higher conviction levels carry greater influence and longer locks.

Why it matters

Two voters using the same amount of VARA can contribute different weighted votes.
