# 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. --- # 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.
