# Governance & Listing Process

> Learn about the governance and listing process of Juiced Protocol.

*Juiced operates on a hybrid governance model designed for speed and security. The Core Team acts as the **Protocol Curator** (managing risk and asset selection), while `veJUICE` holders act as **Liquidity Allocators** (determining incentive distribution).*

### The listing pipeline

The protocol utilizes a streamlined listing process to rapidly integrate high-quality assets. This ensures that only secure, oracle-compatible tokens are eligible for Juiced Vaults.

**Step 1: Asset Selection & Due Diligence**

The Juiced Core Team identifies potential assets for listing based on market demand, partnership opportunities, or inbound requests. Every asset undergoes a strict internal review process covering:

* **Security Verification:** Review of token contract audits and permissions.
* **Oracle Compatibility:** Confirmation of a reliable, high-frequency price feed required by the Vault Indexer.
* **Market Viability:** Assessment of organic volume potential on the RiseX orderbook.

**Step 2: Technical Deployment**

Upon approval, the Core Team executes the on-chain setup:

* **Vault Initialization:** Deployment of the specific Maker Vault contract with parameters tuned for the asset’s volatility (Spread, Tick Size, Rebalance Threshold).
* **Gauge Integration:** The new Vault is added to the **Gauge Controller**, making it eligible to receive votes and emissions.

**Step 3: Market Activation**

Once deployed, the Vault is technically live on the interface. At this stage, it has **0 TVL** and receives **0 Emissions**. It enters the "Bootstrapping Phase," waiting for governance support to attract liquidity.

### Liquidity bootstrapping

While the Team decides *which* markets exist, `$veJUICE` holders determine *how deep* the liquidity becomes. This creates a competitive marketplace for emissions.

1. **Incentivization (Bribes):**

   External projects or community members deposit incentives (Bribes) into the Bribe Marketplace linked to the new Vault to attract voter support.

2. **Gauge Voting:**

   `$veJUICE` holders cast their votes for the new Gauge during the weekly Epoch. They are naturally incentivized to vote for pools offering the highest value (Fees + Bribes).

3. **Emission Direction:**

   Based on the voting weight, the protocol directs a portion of the weekly `$JUICE` emission to the new Vault.

4. **Liquidity Injection:**

   The high APR (derived from Emissions + Bribes) attracts Liquidity Providers. The Vault fills with capital and immediately begins quoting orders on RiseX.
