# ZVE Token

ZVE is the native governance token of the Zivoe ecosystem. It empowers holders to participate in protocol governance, shape key decisions, and contribute to the future direction of the protocol.

### Governance <a href="#governance" id="governance"></a>

Zivoe is governed through an on-chain voting system driven by ZVE token holders. ZVE holders have the ability to propose and vote on a defined set of actions through the Zivoe Improvement Proposal (ZIP) process.

Examples of proposals that may be governed via ZIPs include:

* Adjusting protocol reward rates
* Approving integrations with new contracts
* Updating protocol configuration parameters
* Activating or modifying the protocol fee switch
* Directing protocol managed assets

Proposals undergo an on-chain voting process where members vote For, Against, or Abstain. Voting power is directly linked to the number of ZVE tokens held, with 1 ZVE equating to 1 vote. To encourage participation from all token holders, we've made it possible for you to vote whether you are holding ZVE in your wallet, staking it, and even while its still vesting to your wallet.&#x20;
