# 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.            |
