At the heart of every successful protocol lies a myriad of stakeholders all intricately connected through protocol governance. Here at Factor, we strongly believe that proper governance incentives plays a crucial role in aligning stakeholder goals thereby encouraging more organic and decentralized community governance.

**The Factor Flywheel**
The [Factor Flywheel](/governance/factordao/factor-flywheel.md) condenses all of our learnings and functions as a solid foundation upon which Factor governance can continue to prosper.
{% endhint %}
The FactorDAO facilitates decentralized governance of the protocol through coordinating governance proposals and incentives as determined by governance token holders. This non-exhaustive list includes:
* Staking of [FCTR](/governance/fctr-token.md#fctr) in exchange for governance rights and rewards
* Distribution of Factor emission rewards via [Factor Scale](/governance/factor-scale.md) as well as liquidity incentives via [Factor Boost](/governance/factor-boost.md)
* Supporting an open market for [FCTR](/governance/fctr-token.md) through protocol-owned liquidity provision
* Control of the Factor [multisig treasury](/governance/factordao/factordao-multisig-addresses.md) which accrues protocol revenue and funds various protocol growth initiatives
* DAO token swaps to enhance collaboration between Factor and other protocols
* Contributor compensations and community growth initiatives
As a means to coordinate users in an ever changing environment, governance mechanisms are meant to evolve accordingly hence we invite you to participate in the future of Factor through joining our [Discord](https://discord.gg/factor-981676208251088916) or even [becoming a FCTR staker](https://pro.factor.fi/governance/stake).
## Getting Started With Factor Governance
[Stake FCTR](/governance/factordao/user-guides/stake-fctr.md) to participate in governing Factor and get rewarded in the process:
* [x] 50% protocol revenue share distributed monthly in [FCTR](/governance/fctr-token.md#fctr)
* [x] Direct FCTR emissions by voting on [Factor Scale](/governance/factor-scale.md)
* [x] Supercharge strategy rewards as all stakers receive up to a 2.5x [emission multiplier](/governance/factor-scale/emission-multiplier-calculations.md)
* [x] Participate in [Factor Bribes](/governance/factor-bribe.md) and claim voting incentives
* [ ] Submit and vote on governance proposals (*coming soon*)
Visit our [tokenomics section](/governance/fctr-token.md) for a deeper dive into how the various incentives are supporting the long-term decentralization of the FactorDAO.
