# Voting

### How to participate in governance?

To participate in governance, Kyoko Finance users need to lock their KYOKO into a voting escrow.

You can do so at this address: TBD

### What are veKYOKO?

veKYOKO stands for voting escrow KYOKO. They are your KYOKO locked for voting. The longer you lock your KYOKO for, the more voting power you have (and the bigger boost you can reach). 

Your veKYOKO weight gradually decreases as your escrowed tokens approach their lock expiry. A graph illustrating the decrease can be found at this address: TBD

### Can I start voting right away?

You can only vote using your voting weight at the block where a proposal was created.

### How to vote?

Simply visit the proposal of your choice, click your vote option and confirm your transaction. You can find DAO proposals at this address: TBD
