# lockedELCT ![](/files/6YsBweEy9zSEKnow1iLf) The [Fission pool](/protofi-docs/electron-yield-system/fission.md) is one of the core innovations of the ProtoFi protocol and the current method used for dividend distribution. It allows investors to deposit ELCT, which represents a share in the protocol and entitles its holders to receive dividends in $DAI. When locking ELCT to participate in governance and the gauge, you will receive lockedELCT which is used for staking in Fission to earn DAI rewards. ### How to get lockedELCT 1. After confirming the ELCT lock in Gauge Voting (completing steps 1 - 9 in [how to get veELCT](/protofi-docs/gauge-and-bribe-system/faq/how-to-get-veelct.md)), lockedELCT tokens will be immediately sent to the connected wallet. 2.
