# Beam's ve(3,3) Ecosystem Beam's ve(3,3) mechanics embody a combination of DeFi concepts, including Vote-Escrow introduced by Curve to incentivize long-term token holders, and Staking/Rebasing/Bonding or (3,3) game theory, designed by Olympus DAO to align incentives. The resulting ve(3,3) mechanism rewards behaviors that support Beam's success, such as liquidity provisioning, long-term token holding of the $BEAM token in the form of a revenue generating veBEAM position, and contributing to building protocol liquidity through CoreLink's bonding mechanism. The following pages will describe features of a ve(3,3) decentralized exchange that differentiates it from a traditional DEX and gives it a competitive advantage. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
