**veBLACK** has launched a new rewards mechanism for token holders: - **Create a veNFT** to participate in the protocol's governance system - **Vote weekly** on protocol decisions and reward distributions - **Earn protocol fees** proportional to your token lock duration The system builds on veBLACK's existing model where users lock $BLACK tokens to obtain veBLACK voting power. Previous epochs have distributed significant rewards, with over **$530,000** allocated to veBLACK holders in epoch 20. The weekly cadence allows participants to actively engage with protocol governance while earning consistent returns. Longer lock periods result in higher fee distributions, incentivizing long-term commitment to the protocol. This vote-escrowed model aligns token holder interests with protocol growth by tying rewards directly to participation and lock duration.
