# veYND Parameters

**How is veYND Used?**\
veYND is the governance token for YieldNest, enabling users to participate in decentralized decision-making. To mint veYND, users stake YND and receive an NFT that accumulates voting power over time. The longer YND is locked, the greater the voting power, aligning long-term commitment with increased influence.

Holding veYND gives users the right to vote on critical protocol decisions, including yield strategies, parameter adjustments, and incentive structures. It also entitles holders to a share of protocol-generated rewards, proportional to their voting power. This model ensures that YieldNest remains governed by its community, with protocol evolution guided by its most engaged stakeholders.
