In many DeFi ecosystems, tokens represent speculation, not stewardship. Dolomite’s veDOLO flips this script by rewarding long-term commitment with both influence and income. By locking DOLO for periods ranging from weeks to years, users receive veDOLO—a non-transferable governance token that represents vested interest in Dolomite’s future. The longer the lock, the stronger the voting power and the greater the revenue share.
veDOLO holders vote on the core parameters that shape Dolomite’s risk and economic design: collateral rules, liquidation policies, treasury spending, and module adoption. They also directly share in the fees the protocol generates, from borrowing spreads to liquidation penalties. This creates a reflexive loop where good governance strengthens the protocol, which increases usage, which raises revenues, which in turn delivers higher yields to veDOLO holders. By design, veDOLO filters out short-term speculation and elevates those willing to commit as true stewards of the platform.
