# Bedrock DAO ### **Decentralized Governance with Aragon DAO** BedrockDAO employs **Aragon DAO**, a widely adopted governance framework used by thousands of DeFi protocols. This ensures a secure, transparent, and efficient decision-making process, enabling the community to shape the future of liquid restaking. ### **Governance & Voting Mechanism** * **$BR Token:** The core governance token used for decision-making, staking, and reward allocation. * **veBR (Voting Escrow BR):** Users can stake $BR to convert it into veBR, which grants voting power. While the veBR balance itself remains constant, the **voting power increases the longer the stake duration**. * **Epoch Cycle:** Governance operates in **2-week epochs**, during which veBR holders vote on different **gauges** that determine token emissions and reward distribution across the protocol. ### **Security & Transparency** With fully **open-source smart contracts**, **audit reports**, and **verifiable contract addresses**, BedrockDAO ensures a high level of trust and accountability. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
