# Bribes (Vote Incentives)

<figure><img src="/files/MS3y7mLzRfJCO1FD9wXI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Apart from earning CAKE via our weekly [CAKE reward pools](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/earn-cake-weekly.md), veCAKE holders can vote for gauges to claim bribes from external bribe marketplaces. These bribes are usually submitted by external project teams on some of our [veCAKE Managers](/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/archive-vecake/vecake-managers.md).

This serves as an additional source of yield for veCAKE holders, and also diversifies the type of tokens they receive as yield.

There are two types of bribe marketplaces:

1. Primary bribe marketplaces allow projects to submit bribes to reward **veCAKE holders** for voting for their desired gauges.
2. Secondary bribe marketplaces allow projects to submit bribes to reward a **derivative project's token holders** (e.g vlCKP from Cakepie) for voting for their desired gauges. The protocol in question (e.g. Cakepie) will then vote for the gauges with their own veCAKE holdings, based on the vote outcome of their token holders.

We currently have two primary bribe marketplaces where veCAKE holders can vote for gauges and claim bribes from external teams:

1. [Hidden Hand](https://hiddenhand.finance/pancakeswap)
2. [Votemarket (by StakeDAO)](https://votemarket.stakedao.org/?market=cake\&solution=All)

veCAKE holders should visit these bribe marketplaces regularly and vote for gauges that can help optimize their yield on veCAKE.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/bribes-vote-incentives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
