# $THX

While the THX token is technically native to Ethereum, it's main usage and utility lies in the Polygon ecosystem. Fees and governance are gained by staking the THX token, creating [$veTHX](https://docs.thx.network/tokenomics/locking-usdthx-to-usdvethx).

{% hint style="warning" %}
To earn maximum voting power and protocol fees lock your THX tokens for **12 weeks.** To keep earning maximum benefits be sure to revisit the app to lock every Thursday! 

You get your full amount of tokens back when the locked date passes. Alternatively you can unlock your tokens early with a linear early unlock fee.
