# 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.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://shui-1.gitbook.io/shui/shui-economics/shui-token/value-capture.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
