# About WOM

## What is WOM?

WOM is Wombat’s governance token and has the following use cases: 

* **Governance**: WOM token holders can participate and vote on governance decisions. 
* **Liquidity Incentives**: Users can earn WOM tokens as rewards by providing liquidity with stablecoins to the liquidity pool. 
* **Boosting**: Users can earn additional WOM from the Boosting Pool by locking WOM tokens. The Boosting Pool incorporates voting escrow WOM ([veWOM](/tokenomics/about-wom/vewom.md)) for rewards accrual. Locking any amount of WOM applies a boost to all stablecoin pools.
