# Participation in VirtuSwap Governance

To participate in VirtuSwap Governance, you should stake or lock your VRSW tokens to receive an equal amount of veVRSW tokens - a vote escrowed VRSW that contains the associated voting rights.

Any amount of VRSW tokens can be staked in the protocol, and any amount of veVRSW can be used for voting on governance proposals. veVRSW tokens can be used for voting on VirtuSwap DAO proposals immediately.
