Bedrock DAOBR: transferable token
BR is the token held in a compatible wallet and used throughout the Bedrock ecosystem. Token ownership alone should not be confused with governance voting weight. Before staking, users can inspect the amount available and supported network in the wallet.
veBR: governance representation
Staking BR converts committed exposure into a veBR position for governance accounting. veBR is described as non-transferable and supports gauge voting. The visible veBR quantity and the effective votes available can vary according to elapsed time and governance rules.
What users give up when locking
Participating in vote escrow means BR cannot necessarily be withdrawn immediately. The documented minimum lock and cooldown affect exit timing. Holding an unstaked BR balance does not create the same exit constraints.
Rewards versus voting power
Staking rewards and governance influence are related but different. veBR vote weight supports collective decisions, while actual reward distribution depends on available program incentives and current epoch outcomes. Review the Rewards page separately from the Vote page.

What is the difference between BR and veBR?
BR is the transferable token, while veBR represents governance power associated with eligible staked BR positions.
Can veBR be treated like a normal transferable token?
The documentation presents veBR as a governance representation rather than an ordinary transferable token balance.
