# Understanding mgCVG

**`mgCVG`** stands for *metagovernance* **`CVG`** and represents a voting power over underlying protocols. **`mgCVG`** can be compared to **`vlCVX`** or **`vlAURA`**, as the metagovernance power held by **`mgCVG`** isn't time diluted.

The amount of **`mgCVG`** a user will receive by locking **`CVG`** depends on how long **`CVG`** are locked. The longer a user locks **`CVG`**, the more **`mgCVG`** his **`NFT`** will receive. **`mgCVG`** amount is equal to the initial **`veCVG`** amount and remains unchanged until the end of the lock.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example:

1. A user vote-locks 1,000 **`CVG`** for 96 **`cvgCycles`**: he will receive 1,000 **`mgCVG`**;
2. A user vote-locks 1,000 **`CVG`** for 48 **`cvgCycles`**: he will receive 500 **`mgCVG`**.
   {% endhint %}

**`mgCVG`** is used to vote on snapshots to participate in underlying protocols governance.
