# Overview

The DropsDAO ecosystem has three token components: DOP, veDOP and esDOP. Each of these is a form of the protocol’s native token, with a different purpose.

### DOP

DOP is the native token of the Drops protocol, in its regular form. It is completely transferable.

### veDOP

veDOP is short for vote-escrowed DOP. It represents a claim on DOP that has been locked up (also referred to as “staked”) in the protocol. 

veDOP is not transferrable.

### esDOP

esDOP is escrowed DOP that has been paid out in protocol rewards. It represents a claim on DOP that can be redeemed over time.

esDOP is transferrable to whitelisted contracts.
