# Why Buy Votes?

**Benefits of Buying veBLZE Votes**

**1. Increase Stake** 

When you buy veBLZE votes, you're effectively bidding for governance power available in the Votex protocol. Votex uses these votes to influence SolBlaze’s delegation strategy - meaning the more votes you win, the more stake gets directed toward your validator.

**2. Earn More Yield**

More delegated stake = higher staking rewards. As the system channels more stake to your validator, your overall yield increases. This creates a powerful feedback loop where the cost of buying votes is offset (and potentially exceeded) by the increased returns.

**3. Market Positioning**

Actively participating in vote markets like Votex helps signal credibility and commitment to the network. This boosts your visibility among delegators and ecosystem partners.

**4. Capital Efficiency**

Unlike traditional advertising or outreach, buying veBLZE votes is a direct and measurable way to increase your validator rewards with clear ROI. You only pay for performance - measured in stake received.\

**How It Works:**

1. **Bid for Votes on Votex**
   * Validators submit bids for governance power available in the Votex protocol.
   * The bigger the bid, the more % of total available voting power your validator is going to get
2. **Votex Directs Votes to SolBlaze**
   * Votex casts the votes accordingly to bids at the end of epoch
3. **Stake Flows to Your Validator**
   * With more votes, you receive a higher portion of SolBlaze's stake delegation.
   * Your validator earns more rewards from the increased stake.
4. **Yield Goes Back to the Votex Cycle**
   * Your validator’s higher yield can be recycled into larger future vote bids, reinforcing your position.

```

`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.
