# Vote Locking

### What is vote locking?

TRH holders can vote lock their TRH into the Torah DAO to receive veTRH. The longer they lock for, the more veTRH they receive. Vote locking allows you to vote in governance, boost your TRH rewards and receive trading fees.&#x20;

### What are veTRH?

veTRH stands for voting escrow TRH. They are your TRH locked for voting. The longer you lock your TRH for, the more voting power you have (and the bigger boost you can reach). You can vote lock 1,000 TRH for a year to have a 250 veTRH weight. Each TRH locked for four years is equal to 1 veTRH.

The number of veTRH you will receive depends on how long you lock your TRH for. The minimum locking time is one week and the maximum locking time is four years.

Your veTRH weight gradually decreases as your escrowed tokens approach their lock expiry.

### What if I provide liquidity in multiple pools?

Your voting power applies to all gauges but may produce different boosts based on how much liquidity you are providing and how much total liquidity the pool has.

### What happens if more people vote lock?

If other liquidity providers vote lock more TRH, your boost will stay what it was when you applied it. If you abuse this, another user can kick and force a boost update to take you down to your real boost.

### How often does my boost records voting power changes?

Your voting weight decreases over time but your boost will take notice of your decreasing voting power at certain checkpoints like withdrawing, depositing into a gauge or minting TRH.

For example if you start at 1000 veTRH and your voting power decreases to 800 veTRH, your boost will still use your original voting power of 1000 veTRH until a user checkpoint.

### How can I apply my boost?

After creating or adding to your lock, you need to click the apply boost button to update your boost on each of the gauge you're providing liquidity in. Your boost can also be updated by depositing or withdrawing from a gauge.

### How to know my boost is active?

If your boost is showing then it is active.

If you have locked but your boost isn't showing then you need to apply it.
