A trade pays a fee to the pool it crosses. - Provide: a liquidity provider deposits into the pool that fits the pair, then may stake that position in the gauge. Staked liquidity receives UP emissions. Those emissions are sized by the vote and capped by the fees the pool produces. Staking hands the pool's trading fees to voters. - Lock: UP can be locked from one week to four years. The locker receives veUP. Voting power scales linearly with lock time. A permanent lock holds full weight and does not count down. - Vote and earn: before each 7-day epoch flips, veUP holders point voting power at gauges. The vote directs the next epoch's UP emissions. Voters earn that epoch's fees and incentives from the gauges they supported, claimable when the epoch flips. Fees taken from staked liquidity are paid in the pool's own tokens. - Incentives may be deposited on a gauge to attract votes. ## Token - Ticker: UP - Chain: Robinhood Chain - Contract: 0x57c0e45cb534413d1c20a4240955d6bb250bb4f1 ## What Up33 is Up33 is a liquidity marketplace and an evolved ve(3,3) exchange.
