The [Fission pool](https://protofi.gitbook.io/protofi-docs/electron-yield-system/fission) 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](https://protofi.gitbook.io/protofi-docs/gauge-and-bribe-system/faq/how-to-get-veelct)),  lockedELCT tokens will be immediately sent to the connected wallet.
2. Then just head to Fission from the Nav bar and you'll see a modified pool card that accepts both ELCT and lockedELCT.
3. Click on Approve lockedELCT button (if you are approving it for the first time) or the "+" button.
