**What is KACY?**&#x20;

KACY is the native utility token of Kassandra, a crypto protocol designed to empower its community members. The token provides various functionalities within the protocol, enabling holders to actively participate in governance proposals and incentivizing farm pools on the platform.

**Governance and Proposals**

KACY token holders gain the privilege to engage in the governance of Kassandra. By visiting the governance section of the protocol, accessible at <https://app.kassandra.finance/gov>, users can explore all past and ongoing proposals that have shaped the development and direction of the platform.

**KACY's LockVote Feature**

To exercise voting rights on Kassandra, stakeholders must stake their KACY tokens, thereby earning voting power. There are three options available for stakers:

1. **No withdrawal delay:** Opting for this choice allows users to stake and withdraw their tokens at any time. While this option carries less risk, it provides a lower interest rate and grants a 1:1 Voting Power based on the amount of KACY staked.
2. **15-day withdrawal delay:** By selecting this option, users commit to a 15-day lock period before being able to withdraw their tokens. In return, each KACY staked carries a higher weight of 2 Voting Power, granting stronger influence and higher interest rates to those willing to lock their tokens for an extended duration.
3. **45-day withdrawal delay:** This option imposes a 45-day lock period, preventing users from withdrawing their tokens until the period elapses. In exchange, each staked KACY token represents a weight of 3 Voting Power, amplifying the voting influence and interest rate of users who choose to lock their tokens for an extended period.

By offering these withdrawal delay options, Kassandra incentivizes stakeholders to actively engage in governance decisions while rewarding those who commit to longer lock periods with increased voting power. You can check more about staking in our [Staking](/kassandras-onboarding-docs/use-cases/staking.md)section.

**Tokenomics**

Initially, KACY was designed to have a maximum supply of 10,000,000 tokens. However, during the ICO phase, a strategic decision was made to burn 400,000 tokens, effectively reducing the total supply to 9,600,000 tokens. This deliberate token burn mechanism enhances scarcity and can potentially contribute to the appreciation of the token's value over time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kassandra-1.gitbook.io/kassandras-onboarding-docs/about-kassandra/usdkacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
