# Lock Tokens

> Learn how to lock your JUICE tokens to veJUICE.

Locking your \$JUICE tokens allows you to participate in protocol governance, earn "Real Yield" from curator fees, and claim bribes.

1. **Enter the locker**

   Navigate to the Lock section. Enter the amount of \$JUICE tokens you wish to lock.

2. **Select duration**

   Choose your lock duration (from 1 week up to 4 years).

   *Note: Longer lock times result in more veJUICE and higher voting power.*

3. **Lock and stake**

   Confirm the transaction. Your `$JUICE` is now locked, and your `$veJUICE` balance will represent your voting power and share of protocol revenue.
