Velodrome Finance

Velodrome Finance's primary function is to enable token swaps and attract liquidity, thereby generating fees from traders. In this ecosystem, Liquidity Providers (LPs) are awarded VELO token emissions based on the votes accumulated by their pools, with the stipulation that only staked liquidity in the protocol gauges receives these emissions. Participants have the option to lock their VELO to become veVELO Voters, who play a critical role in determining the allocation of emissions for subsequent epochs. These voters are compensated with a share of the protocol's trading fees and additional incentives linked to their voting activities.

The official Velodrome Finance ticker is “VELO” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “VELOD” is for CryptoCompare.com only.
