# Vote

Voting rights are proportional to the amount of veSTO tokens locked.&#x20;

### Types of Governance Votes&#x20;

**Incentive Distribution Votes (Gauge Voting)**

By participating in gauge voting, veSTO holders can vote for specific STONE-Fi and BTC-Fi pools as well as LiquidityPad Vaults, thereby directing veSTO emissions towards these pools. By participating in gauge voting, holders are entitled to a portion of bribes and veSTO emissions proportional to their votes for the selected pool or vault.

**Protocol Parameter Votes**

Holders of locked veSTO can collectively decide and modify key protocol parameters such as fee structures, proportion of bribes burned, and other protocol initiatives.&#x20;

### Benefits of Gauge Voting

1. **veSTO Emissions**: When veSTO holders vote on specific pools or vaults for emission allocation, they also secure a proportional claim to the associated veSTO rewards.
2. **Bribe Rewards**: When protocols and ecosystem builders bribe specific pools or vaults, a proportion of bribes are distributed as rewards proportionally to the amount of veSTO voted.
