# Governance Incentives

20,000,000 SWAP tokens are set aside annually as fixed governance incentives to encourage governance participation. These incentives are also distributed monthly.

* Monthly Governance Incentives: Approximately 1,666,667 SWAP
  * Calculation: 20,000,000 SWAP / 12 months ≈ 1,666,667 SWAP per month.

The incentives are distributed on a pro-rata basis according to each holder's allocated voting power during the epoch.

### Example of Governance Incentives Distribution

* Total Governance Incentives for Epoch: Approximately 1,666,667 SWAP.
* Participants:
  * Alice's Allocated Voting Power: 4,500
  * Bob's Allocated Voting Power: 3,000
* Total Allocated Voting Power: 7,500

#### Distribution:

* Alice:
  * Holds 4,500 / 7,500 = 60% of the total allocated voting power.
  * Alice's Incentive Share: 1,666,667 SWAP \* 60% ≈ 1,000,000 SWAP 
* Bob:
  * Holds 3,000 / 7,500 = 40% of the total allocated voting power.
  * Bob's Incentive Share: 1,666,667 SWAP \* 40% ≈ 666,667 SWAP 

This example demonstrates how allocated voting power directly influences the share of governance incentives received by each participant.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pacaswap.com/tokenomics/emissions-and-incentives/annual-incentives/governance-incentives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
