# SPRK Staking ### Passive Yield Powered by Real Platform Revenue **xSPRK staking** allows users to earn real yield from the protocol's performance — not inflation or emissions. Rather than relying on unsustainable token farming, SparkDEX distributes **real revenue** generated from platform usage (DEX + Perps) directly to those who commit their $SPRK tokens to the staking contract. ### How It Works When users stake $SPRK, they receive **xSPRK** — a wrapped representation of their staked tokens. Holding xSPRK makes you eligible for automatic revenue sharing from SparkDEX’s fee streams: * **From DEX Trading:** 5% of all trading fees * **From Perpetual Trading:** 20% of all fees (high-volume segment) These earnings are paid out in real assets, drawn from actual on-chain fees — not inflationary token emissions. *** ### Unlock System – Flexible & Deflationary Unstaking xSPRK is built on a flexible unlock curve that balances immediate access and long-term commitment: | Unlock Option | % Returned | Impact | | -------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------- | | **Instant (0 days)** | 50% SPRK | 50% burned (deflationary) | | **15-Day Unlock** | 100% SPRK | No penalty | | **Custom Duration** | 50–100% | Linear scale | This approach rewards patient stakers while reducing supply through burns when early exits are chosen — supporting long-term token value. ### Why Stake? | Benefit | Description | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | **Real Revenue Yield** | Earn from actual fees, not inflation. | | **Deflationary Support** | Burns reduce supply and increase scarcity. | | **Simple, Passive Model** | No active management — just stake, hold xSPRK, and earn. | | **Tied to Protocol Growth** | As SparkDEX volume grows, so does your share. | #### Learn More [here.](https://docs.sparkdex.ai/tokenomics/xsprk-staking)
