# Stake

### Introduction

$PEKO holders can partake in the Peko Protocol stake program, similar to the ve-token model pioneered by Curve. They can stake their $PEKO tokens and receive $stPEKO tokens. As a result, $PEKO holders will receive boosted rewards for supplying and borrowing on Peko Protocol, and will also be able to partake in DAO governance through voting.
