📊VEP tokens
The initial supply is 50M VEP
Veplus implements a dual token model to manage governance and utility:
- veVEPas ERC-721 governance token
- VEPas BEP-20 utility token
Users can receive veVEP by locking VEP tokens at any time. The lock period can be up to 2 years, following the linear relationship shown below:
- 100 - VEPlocked for 2 years will become 100- veVEP
- 100 - VEPlocked for 1 years will become 50- veVEP
The longer the lock time, the higher the voting power and the more rewards users receive.
