# Locking XB3

This page will explain how a user could lock their XB3 tokens to earn voting rights to protocol and app proposals as well as earn boosted protocol & product revenue. 

## Locking XB3:

1\) Navigate to the "**XB3 & veXB3**" page of the App.

2\) Scroll down to the Lockup tab. Choose how long you would like to lock your XB3 tokens for by moving the slider along the page.

**Note:** The longer a user locks up for, the more veXB3 they will receive and the higher their boost will be on protocol revenue. Users can lock between 4-100 weeks.<br>

3\) Once you have decided your length of time for the lockup, choose how much XB3 you would like to lock by entering an amount in the **Lock** section of the page. Once you have chosen your amount, click on "**Approve & Lock**". You will need to approve the contract first before you are able to lock your tokens.
