Governance isn't just some checkbox we check off. It’s how you take control. $xKim isn't just another token; it’s your tool to decide what thrives on Kim Exchange. With $veKIM, we’re putting the power back in your hands. From rewards to emissions, governance isn’t just a feature—it’s how we evolve, how we grow, and how we move forward.
Kim’s governance system? It’s about real utility. This isn’t about voting for the sake of decentralization. It’s about shaping the ecosystem. You’re not just holding $xKim; you’re driving its future.
Why Governance Actually Matters: For Degens and Builders Alike
Here’s the deal: real power. If you hold $veKIM, you decide which LPs get the rewards. Whether it’s MODE-ETH, MBTC-WBTC, or whatever other LPs you’ve got your eyes on—your vote makes it happen. No more waiting for someone else to make the decisions.
But this isn’t just for the users—protocols get in on the action too. They can compete for your vote, align with the community, and help drive liquidity across the ecosystem. This is how the community and protocols build something that actually works for everyone.
More votes = More rewards. It’s that simple. And as you stake more, your $veKIM grows. The more you have, the more you control.
What Exactly Is $veKIM?
$veKIM is where the real action happens. When you stake your $xKim or KIM-ETH LP position, you’re converting them into $veKIM or voting power. The longer you stake, the more power you earn. You get to decide what gets incentivized. Whether it’s a pool you love or a new protocol making waves, $veKIM gives you the keys to the kingdom.
It’s more than a token—it’s your way to control the platform’s future. Stake it, grow it, and use it to shape what happens next.
Stake $xKim and ETH-KIM LP for Maximum Influence
Ready to take charge? Here’s how you can supercharge your voting power:
• Stake $xKim: Lock up your $xKim to start growing your voting power. The longer you stake, the more voting power you accumulate. More power means more control over which LPs and protocols thrive on Kim Exchange.
• ETH-KIM via ICHI Vault: Want an easy way to boost your influence further? Use the ETH-KIM ICHI Vault to create your LP position with a single-sided deposit. It’s quick, convenient, and gives you even more voting power to shape the future of Kim Exchange.
And if you’re looking for even more ways to flex your governance muscle, let’s just say… there might be a few surprises in store.

The Gauge System: LPs and Incentives, Simplified
Here’s how it works. We’re talking about gauges, not just some complex system you need a PhD to understand.
- LPs as Proposals: LP pairs (like MBTC-WBTC, iUSD-USDC, and many partner protocols LPs) are listed as proposals. $veKIM holders vote on which LPs should be incentivized. The more votes an LP gets, the more rewards it unlocks. It’s community-powered liquidity—if the community loves it, it gets rewarded.
Want to see what’s up for a vote? Check out the Voting Gauge Forum to explore current proposals from partner protocols and weigh in on where incentives should flow.
- More Votes = More Rewards: Simple as that. The more support an LP gets, the more rewards it gets. This is how we ensure that liquidity is driven to the right places—the places you care about.
You get to decide which LPs get the reward. Simple.
Aragon: Fueling Kim’s Governance System
We didn’t just throw a bunch of tech together and hope for the best. We partnered with Aragon OSx, the engine that powers our governance system. Their modular framework allows us to roll out features fast—whether it’s bribe markets, on-chain rewards, or custom voting tools. Aragon’s tech ensures our system stays scalable and flexible, so we can keep up with everything Kim Exchange is about to achieve.
Through Aragon, $veKIM grows your influence, and Kim’s governance is ready for anything. Powerful tech, powerful governance—that’s how we’re shaping the future.
