# Saber

Saber is a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) focused on stablecoin and pegged asset trading. The protocol uses a vote-escrowed governance model (veSBR) where token holders lock SBR to gain governance rights over liquidity gauge emissions.

## Timeline
- **2023-12-16** - MetaDAO approved proposal to build vote market for veSBR holders, enabling them to sell governance votes to projects seeking liquidity
