# veQUBE

## What’s this?

veQUBE (vote-escrowed QUBE) is a virtual asset that only exists on FlatQube. veQUBE cannot be transferred. The only way to obtain veQUBE is by locking QUBE. The maximum lock time is four years. A user’s veQUBE balance will remain constant until the QUBE is unlocked.

## Everscan

To see a transaction on Everscan, all you need to do is go to the [DAO Balance page](/use/dao/interface/dao-balance.md) and click on any transaction in the deposits or history.

## What’s it for?

QUBE has several key utility tasks:

1. Voting in the DAO
2. Boosting rewards in farming

To participate in the utility and get the respective benefits, you need to wrap QUBE into veQUBE.

## How is the number of veQube calculated in relation to the amount and period?

`veQUBE = QUBE * (lock time/max lock time)`

With this kind of token distribution, an investor gets 1:1 from a lock time of four years.

You can lock tokens [here](https://app.flatqube.io/dao/balance).

## How much do you get after unlocking?

When the lock time ends, the investor gets their QUBE tokens returned to their wallet. Put simply, the investor gets as many tokens back as they invested. Needless to say, gas has to be paid in EVER for the transaction.

`QUBE = veQUBE * (max lock time/lock time)`

## **Increasing your balance through veQUBE:**

We have used the curve approach\*\*:\*\*

Where:

* **Td** – total deposits.
* **d** – deposit of the user.

* **veBd** – ve-boosted balance.
* **Gd** – total gauge deposits (TVL of a specific pool in the gauge).
* **veQUBE** – number of veQUBE that the user has.
* **TveQUBE** – total circulating supply of veQUBE.

You can read about the formula for boosted farming from LP locking, summation of locks, and examples in the [boosted farming section](/use/farming/concepts/boosted-farming.md).

## How often can you vote?

You can only vote once during the voting period.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flatqube.io/use/dao/concept/veqube.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
