# veDEM Membership System

### <mark style="color:yellow;">**Tokenized Commitment and Rewards**</mark>

Members of the Demos community can opt to lock $DEM tokens to activate a membership within the ecosystem. This membership, symbolized as veDEM, affords various privileges:

* Economic Incentives: Rewards for completing designated tasks within the ecosystem.
* Expanded Opportunities: Access to exclusive first-party and partner rewards and privileges.
* Enhanced Governance Participation: A stronger voice in the DAO's decision-making processes.
* Additional $DEM Rewards: Opportunities for further token earnings through active participation.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">**Active Community Engagement**</mark>

Members are expected to contribute actively by referring new users to OnlyMeID, integrating projects with OnlyMeID, and participating in meaningful DAO operations. This engagement is crucial as it directly feeds into the leaderboard system, where active members compete and collaborate to promote and expand the Demos ecosystem.

## 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://docs.demos.global/token-and-community/usddem-token/vedem-membership-system.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.
