# Power

<sub>The mechanism to determine the Current Mode takes into account:</sub>

* <sub>***VotedBULL***</sub><sub>: Total number of tokens currently voting BULL.</sub>
* <sub>***VotedBEAR***</sub><sub>: Total number of tokens currently voting BEAR.</sub>
* <sub>***TotalStaked***</sub><sub>: Total number of tokens currently in the Staking pools.</sub>

{% hint style="info" %}
The tokens in the Staking pools also have their place in the formula. This is very interesting, as staking is a way to generate rewards while voting BULL. Refer to the [Staking](/bvsb/services/staking.md) section for more information.
{% endhint %}

$$
BULL Power = 5 \* VotedBULL + TotalStaked
$$

$$
BEAR Power = 5 \* VotedBEAR
$$

<sub>The Net Power is calculated by substracting the BEAR Power from the BULL Power, and its result (positive or negative) determines the Current Mode:</sub>

$$
Net Power = BULLPower - BEARPower
$$

<mark style="color:red;">**If**</mark><mark style="color:red;">**&#x20;**</mark>*<mark style="color:red;">**NetPower**</mark>*<mark style="color:red;">**&#x20;**</mark><mark style="color:red;">**is less than 0, then the Current Mode is BEAR and the token can be sold. Otherwise the Current Mode is BULL and the token can only be bought.**</mark>

{% hint style="success" %}
If a holder tries to sell tokens when on BULL mode, the transaction will fail.
{% endhint %}
