# Value Capture

**SHUI Token** is the governance token of the **SHUI Interface and Middleware** ( collectively "SHUI Protocol" ), granting holders the right to participate in the governance of SHUI Protocol by proposing and voting on key decisions that shape its direction and governance in a participatory and decentralised manner.\
\
The roadmap of the SHUI Protocol will include a decentralised autonomous organisational structure supported by the community of token holders.

## veSHUI (Coming...)

* You may lock up your SHUI token to get veSHUI in return. As to a fixed amount of SHUI token to be locked, the longer the locking period is, the more veSHUI you can get. (e.g. 100 SHUI locked for 4 years returns 400 veSHUI while 100 SHUI locked for 1 year return 100 veSHUI).
* veSHUI akins to an account based point system that signifies the vesting duration of the wallet's locked SHUI tokens within the protocol.
* veSHUI will play a vital role in SHUI ecosystem.
