# Introduction ## What is Glow? **Glow** is bringing to life a world of dApps that leverage DeFi yield to unlock new and exciting user experiences, accessible to everyone. The Glow Protocol's job is to govern and set the vision for this world of dApps. The **Glow Token** (**GLOW**) is Glow Protocol's governance token. GLOW tokens can be deposited to create new governance polls, which can be voted on by users that have staked GLOW. GLOW is designed to **capture a portion of the yield collected by Glow dApps**, allowing its **value to scale linearly with Glow's assets under management (AUM)**. Glow distributes protocol fees to GLOW stakers pro-rata to their stake, benefitting stakers as adoption of Glow increases -- stakers of GLOW are incentivized to propose, discuss, and vote for proposals that further merit the protocol. You can access Glow through the official [Web Ap](https://glowyield.com/)[p.](https://glowyield.com/) Further documentation of Glow Protocol is provided in the following pages. ## Glow dApps ### Glow Lotto The first Glow dApp to be released will be Glow Lotto (Scheduled for Q4 2021).
