# Governance Mechanism
### Voting on the Kyoko DAO
To vote on the Kyoko DAO, users need to lock vote lock their KYOKO. By doing so, participants can earn a boost on their provided liquidity and vote on all DAO proposals. There is no minimum voting power required to vote.
### Voting Power
veKYOKO stands for vote escrowed KYOKO, it's a locker where users can lock their KYOKO for different lengths of time to gain voting power. Users can lock their KYOKO for a minimum of 30 mins and a maximum of four years. As users with long voting escrow have more stake, they receive more voting power.
