Lock

$KYO-$veKYO Model

$KYO can be obtained as a reward for providing liquidity or through direct swaps. However, $KYO itself does not grant governance rights or utility within the protocol. To participate in Kyo Finance’s governance, users must lock their $KYO into $veKYO.

By converting $KYO into $veKYO, users gain access to governance participation, including voting on gauge allocations and protocol decisions. This mechanism ensures that only committed participants have influence over the protocol’s direction while incentivizing long-term engagement. Even though converting itself is an irreversible process, it gives flexibility of liquidation paradoxically. Read more about how it makes your voting life much easier here.

Converting $KYO to $veKYO

You can convert $KYO into $veKYO at any time via the ‘veKYO’ tab or the ‘Swap’ tab. The conversion rate depends on the $KYO/$veKYO pool's liquidity ratio, ensuring you always receive a rate of 1:1 or better for each $KYO. If a more favorable rate is available, the system automatically selects the optimal route for conversion.

Liquidating $veKYO

You can liquidate your $veKYO back into $KYO or other assets using the ‘Swap’ function. The liquidity ratio in the $KYO/$veKYO pool determines the rate, and this process can be executed instantly without any lock-up period. This flexibility allows users to manage their assets dynamically as needed.
