there are three different categories which you can utilise to earn rewards & fees. they play different roles in the handle.fi ecosystem and therefore their requirements differ:

* [**governance**](https://docs.handle.fi/high-priority/governance-staking-veforex) - contribute to decisions about the future of handle.fi and be rewarded by receiving a share of trading fees. this is done by [acquiring veFOREX](https://docs.handle.fi/high-priority/governance-staking-veforex/obtain-fxusd-forex-bpt-and-lock-for-veforex).
* [**liquidity**](https://docs.handle.fi/the-platform/pool) - in return for providing and locking up capital to one of our liquidity pools users will receive protocol fees and additional rewards specific to the pool they contribute to:
  * [**handle Liquidity Pool - hLP**](https://docs.handle.fi/the-platform/handle-liquidity-pool-hlp)
  * [**external Liquidity Pools**](https://docs.handle.fi/the-platform/pool)
* [**fxKeeper**](https://docs.handle.fi/the-platform/mint/keeper-pools) - as compensation for the rapid execution of CDP vault liquidation [fxKeeper](https://docs.handle.fi/the-platform/mint/keeper-pools) pools receive a share of any vault liquidation profits in ETH, as well as FOREX rewards.&#x20;
