# Allocation and Distribution

### What is SIO2's max supply?&#x20;

SIO2 has a max supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens.&#x20;

### Is SIO2 a governance token?&#x20;

No. SIO2 is the protocol token for SiO2 Finance. The actual voting power and protocol revenue distribution is not directly associated with SIO2, but with [veSIO2](../../basic-functionality/staking#what-is-vesio2).&#x20;

### How can I earn SIO2?&#x20;

SIO2 is earned in three ways:&#x20;

* Deposit assets to earn SIO2 deposit incentives
* Borrow assets to earn SIO2 borrow incentives
* Locking SIO2 to generate [veSIO2](../../basic-functionality/staking#what-is-vesio2) tokens and earn locking incentives

### What can I do with SIO2?&#x20;

SIO2 holders can lock their tokens to generate [veSIO2](../../basic-functionality/staking#what-is-vesio2) tokens, to earn the protocol revenue allocated from treasury to give back to the community.
