Tokens
The token emission happens in $VLVT, which is used to:
- Incentivize user growth via additional rewards to investors in the funds & structured products built on top of Velvet protocol and via a referral program
- Encourage decentralized governance - can be used to take part in the governance for continuous development of the platform. The long term goal is to achieve true decentralization.
veVLVT is the vote-escrowed version of VLVT. Users can lock their VLVT tokens for up to 5 years to get veVLVT. The longer the lock, the higher the amount of veVLVT voting power received.
To encourage continuous locking and sustained participation from stakeholders, the veVLVT balance declines over time until it reaches zero at the conclusion of the initial locking period. It can be increased by restarting the locking period.
veVLVT can be used for voting on general Velvet DAO decisions (e.g., new integrations) as well as $VLVT emission allocation across funds & structured products. Upon voting, the veVLVT holder will receive a share of the protocol fees from that fund and earn additional staking rewards partially protecting from dilution.
