GPOS made a protocol change such that PPY token holders now receive a _participation reward_ based on their voting performance and how many PPY they have vested or _staked_.

This is a significant change from the original protocol where token holders were rewarded with their share of a rake, taken from a percentage of the blockchain fees, and then distributed to token holders relative to their token holdings, regardless of any voting participation.

Put simply, this means that each PPY token holder needs to vest some, or potentially all, of their PPY balance towards GPOS and then once a month vote for either Witnesses, Advisors or Proxies.

Being a DPOS consensus blockchain, the importance of voter participation of the PPY token holders is paramount to the security of the blockchain. The introduction of GPOS ensures that token holders will take an active interest in the operation and governance of Peerplays.

Each vote cast impacts the people behind the successful operation of Peerplays, in particular the Witnesses. A Witness receiving high votes is much more likely to be elected as a block producing \(active\) Witness.

GPOS works the same way, instead of all token holders being entitled to dividends just by virtue of holding tokens \(shares\), token holders now have a PPY balance \(options\) that they only profit from when they are vested in GPOS \(become shares\).
