# ve(3,3)

The Retro Finance mechanics embody a combination of DeFi concepts, including Vote-Escrow introduced by Curve to incentivize long-term token holders, and Staking/Rebasing/Bonding or (3,3) game theory, designed by Olympus DAO to align incentives. 

The resulting ve(3,3) mechanism rewards behaviors that support Retro's success, such as liquidity provisioning and long-term token holding. 

Liquidity providers are rewarded with $oRETRO emissions, while locked $veRETRO holders receive protocol fees, bribes, veRETRO rebases, and governance power.
