# What are the advantages of protocol level bribes?

Bribes help create a **level playing field** where any **Stellar market** can be incentivized, encouraging **AQUA holders** to vote for specific markets.

#### **Why Use Aquarius Bribes?**

✅ **Inclusivity** – Bribes are easy to implement! Aquarius provides all the necessary resources, allowing any project to **set up bribes in under 5 minutes**.

✅ **No Extra Coding** – No need to build complex vote tracking and distribution systems. Bribes can be created **directly from the Aquarius interface**, with **zero coding required**.

✅ **Open Participation** – Anyone can participate. Both **projects and individual users** can deploy bribes quickly and efficiently using Aquarius’ **permissionless, automated process**.

✅ **Guaranteed Payouts** – Aquarius bribes ensure **automatic distribution** to voters. Unlike unofficial bribes, which projects might discontinue at any time, Aquarius guarantees that **voters who lock their AQUA receive their promised rewards**.

✅ **Transparency & Visibility** – All **Aquarius bribes** are displayed on [**vote.aqua.network**](https://vote.aqua.network), making it easy to compare bribe offerings, including **payout details and schedules**.

✅ **Flexibility** – Bribes can be paid in **any Stellar asset**. Projects can offer **their own token** or popular assets like **XLM or USDC**. Even **multiple tokens** can be assigned to a single market—there are **no limits** on the number of tokens used per bribe.
