One of the gift of the newly launched pHBD-USDC project to the LeoFinance community and to the PolyCUB farming App is the xPOLY governance.

At the early stage (during the briefing before the launch), @khaleelkazi projected one of the benefits pHBD brings to the Lions when he was responding to questions during the weekly AMA. He said that pHBD is linked to the PolyCUB because it's PolyCUB owned liquidity that guarantees the supply of HBD on the Polygon network.

This link comes through xPolycub governance and xPolyCub governance proposals. This proposals are unique suggestions that is targeted towards the continuous fruitfulness in PolyCUB.

I also see xPolyCub governance proposals as a prototype of the Hive Witness governance. This is because, holders are given the opportunity to bring in their vote, which is a determining factor to what happens around PolyCUB.

**What's Hive Witness and how does it resemble the xPolycub governance?**

> Witnesses are over 100 individuals from different aspects of the Hive blockchain who have a hand in the governance decisions on the Hive blockchain. They run nodes on the blockchain and are in constant flux. The top 20 witnesses play major roles in making the major decisions.[Source](https://dining.gifts/@samostically/what-do-you-know-about-hive-witnesses)

Just like the activities hive witness perform on the hive blockchain (which is majorly making decisions that will foster growth), so are holders of xPolyCub. xPolycub holders are incorporated into the PolyCUB board of trustees that take and make major decisions through voting and the majority vote carey's the day.

For instance, many PolyCUB subscribers within the community have complained about the 90 days intervals before one can claim his rewards on the PolyCUB HBD and this is because one can still earn a reasonable profit from the native HBD savings and still make unsafe their HBD and make do with it within 3 days.

Based on this complains, the LeoFinance team have presented some options for xPolyCub holders to choose through their votes. This voting process of what's known as xPolycub governance.

The decision on the above will be culminated after a given period of time allocated for the voters to cast their votes. At the end of the voting period, the area that has highest number of votes becomes the decision of the board.

**It's time to cast your first vote as a member of the xPolycub governance team**

The only criteria in participating in this exercise is that you're an xPolycub holder. Once this is certified then [click this link](https://leofinance.io/@leofinance/introducing-xpolycub-governance-or-first-vote-reduce-the-locked-claim-power-down-window) to finalize your registration process in order to cast you first vote.

How does it feel like to participate in the xPolycub governance, I know it's super amazing. It won't take you any long process to do so, just stake xPOLY and become a PolyCUB Witness and participate in all the decision making process on a DeFi 2.0 Yield Optimizing platform.

Thank you for reading my post! I appreciate.
