# How It Works

Holders delegate their veSBR tokens to Votex and it votes on their behalf. This has a number of desirable properties:

* **Non-custodial:** Votex has no custody of users' veSBR. This means that even if there's a smart contract bug or a rogue agent within the Votex, the worst that can happen to a holder is their tokens being voted in a non-optimal way.
* **Low maintenance:** Votex is 'set and forget.' Holders don't need to come back to the website every epoch, which helps projects by increasing the amount of votes at their disposal.
* **Maximized yield guaranteed:** users don't need to pick individual pools to vote for. Therefore, users can be guaranteed that they're getting the best bang for buck on their tokens.
* **Stable vote counts:** because users delegate instead of coming back every epoch, we expect to see relatively stable amounts of votes per epoch. This helps projects estimate exactly how much value they're getting out of their vote purchases.

## 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://votafi.gitbook.io/votex/vesbr-market/how-it-works.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.
