# SYM Token

SYM is the governance and revenue-sharing token of SYM Finance. SYM has a total supply of 100,000,000. Users need to stake SYM in order to participate in governance and share revenue.

SYM derives its value from three sources:

* **Revenue sharing -** Protocol revenue (yield fees from both leverage buyers and leverage providers minus the part going to the Tidal Force) is fully shared by SYM token holders.
* **Reward boosting -** LPs can boost their share in the Tidal Force Rewards by staking SYM. See [Tidal Reward](/sym-finance/mechanism/tidal-amm/tidal-force.md#tidal-reward) section.&#x20;
* **Gauge voting -** [esSYM](/sym-finance/tokenomics/essym.md) will be emitted to incentivize LPs. The emission rate of esSYM to different markets (e.g., stETH, GLP, and more) is determined by periodic voting by SYM holders.&#x20;
