# Using veMPH

### Acquiring veMPH

To acquire veMPH, you'll need to do the following:

1. Provide liquidity to the the [80/20 MPH/WETH Balancer pool](https://app.balancer.fi/#/pool/0x3e09e828c716c5e2bc5034eed7d5ec8677ffba180002000000000000000002b1) on Ethereum.
2. Then visit the 88mph [Gauge page](https://88mph.app/gauge) to lock the 80/20 MPH/WETH BPT to get veMPH. In doing so, you'll need to choose your lock period. The longer you lock, the more veMPH and voting power you get, but the longer you must wait to unlock your BPT.

### Topping up an existing veMPH lock

You can lock additional BPTs on the [Gauge page](https://88mph.app/gauge) to increase an existing veMPH balance by entering an amount of BPTs and by clicking on the *Add to Lock* button.

### Extending veMPH Lock Period

To extend your lock time, go to the [Gauge page](https://88mph.app/gauge) and follow the same process as locking your 80/20 MPH/WETH BPT; this time, however, you do not need to provide additional 80/20 MPH/WETH BPT; instead, enter a lock value in the *Lock Duration* field and click on the *Increase Lock Duration* button to extend your lock period and acquire more veMPH.

### Reclaiming Your MPH/WETH BPT

On the [Gauge page](https://88mph.app/gauge), click the Withdraw button in the "BPT Unlocked" card to start unlocking your BPT from expired veMPH.

## 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://docs.88mph.app/vemph-gauges/vemph/using-vemph.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.
