# Protocol Power/Weight

Protocol Power specifically refers to the influence users have over ZeroLend's governance and operational decisions. The calculation of total protocol power is as follows:

$$
\textrm{Protocol Power} = (\textrm{zLP Power} +$\textrm{ZERO Power}) \times f(T\_p)
$$

where, 

$$
f(T\_p) = f(4 \times zLP\_p+1\times Z\_p) = \begin{cases}
0 & \text{if } 0.00 \leq T\_p< 0.10 \ 0.5 & \text{if } 0.10 \leq T\_p <0.15\ 0.75 & \text{if } 0.15 \leq T\_p < 0.20 \ 1.0 & \text{if } 0.20 \leq T\_p <0.25\ 1.1 & \text{if } 0.25 \leq T\_p < 0.30 \ 1.25 & \text{if } 0.30 \leq T\_p <0.40\ 1.5 & \text{if } 0.40 \leq T\_p < 0.50 \ 2.0 & \text{if } 0.50 \leq T\_p \\

\end{cases}
$$

We prioritize liquidity provision by offering enhanced incentives for zLP locking over single asset staking. The formula assesses zLP and $ZERO percentages (zLP\_p and Z\_p) locked against the USD value of users' lending deposits, favoring zLP locking fourfold for two key reasons:

1. LP tokens contribute more significantly to ZeroLend's liquidity and overall ecosystem health.
2. LP tokens carry more risk due to impermanent loss

Traditionally, a maximum APR for zLP at 5% of deposited assets is now extendable up to 12.5%, with the option to boost this further by locking $ZERO tokens, whose USD value is considered four times for this purpose. This enhances rewards for users taking on the additional risk of LP staking.
