## Key Concepts

### stRIF & Delegated Voting

In the RootstockCollective, governance voting power is tied to **stRIF** (Staked RIF). Participants can vote directly on ecosystem proposals, stake RIF, and earn rewards in stRIF.

## Top Tools for Developers

- **RootstockCollective:** [Governance protocol on Rootstock](https://rootstockcollective.xyz/). Vote, stake and earn rewards.
- **[Rootstock Subgraphs](/dev-tools/data/):** Custom indexing services for extracting compliance-ready data.
