### What is veCRV-DAO yVault?

The veCRV-DAO yVault, also known as the "Backscratcher," is a vault within the Yearn Finance ecosystem designed to optimise rewards for users holding Curve Finance's CRV tokens. It allows users to lock their CRV tokens to earn a perpetual share of Curve's boosted fee rewards through a streamlined and automated process.

### How does veCRV-DAO yVault work?

- **CRV to yveCRV Conversion:** Users deposit CRV tokens into the veCRV-DAO yVault and receive yveCRV tokens in return. These yveCRV tokens represent a locked perpetual stake in Curve's fee distribution.
- **Boosted Rewards:** The vault aggregates CRV deposits to enhance the fee rewards by leveraging the voting power of veCRV. This increases the rewards distributed to participants.
- **Rewards Distribution:** Accumulated rewards are distributed every Friday in the form of 3Crv tokens (Curve's 3pool LP tokens). 
- **Irreversible Lock:** Depositing CRV into the veCRV-DAO yVault is non-reversible. Once CRV is converted to yveCRV, it remains locked in Curve's voting escrow permanently.
