# How to give VEV

### Protocol and liquidity providers

If you are a protocol or LP who wants to incentivize IDLE stakers to vote on a specific liquidity gauge, here’s how you can do that on [Hidden Hand](https://hiddenhand.finance/idlefinance): 

* Visit the Idle's page on Hidden Hand at <https://hiddenhand.finance/idlefinance> and decide the liquidity gauge for which you want to distribute VEV. Click on *Add Bribe*

* Select the amount of the reward token, then click on *Approve tokens.* After the approval transaction is confirmed, you’ll need to click on *Deposit tokens* as you did already in the step of the tokens approval
