# xSPRK Staking

### What is xSPRK?

> xSPRK Contract Address: <https://flarescan.com/address/0x657097cC15fdEc9e383dB8628B57eA4a763F2ba0>

xSPRK is SparkDEX’s staking token: A wrapped version of $SPRK that represents a user’s staked position and provides access to staking-related benefits.

> **Important:** Holding $SPRK is not enough. You must **wrap into xSPRK** to participate in $SPRK Emissions

### xSPRK Staking

* **$SPRK stakers (xSPRK) receive 120,000 SPRK in weekly emissions.**

These weekly emissions provide an ongoing incentive for $SPRK holders to participate in the staking mechanism and support long-term engagement with the SparkDEX ecosystem.

### Unlock Options: Flexible & Fair

When unstaking xSPRK, you can choose how quickly you want access your original SPRK tokens:

| Unlock Type          | Recovery            | Burn Impact                  |
| -------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Instant (0 days)** | 50% SPRK back       | 50% is burned (deflationary) |
| **Full (15 days)**   | 100% SPRK back      | 0% burned                    |
| **Custom Unlock**    | Linear from 50–100% | Based on duration chosen     |

### Why stake xSPRK?

Staking $SPRK into xSPRK gives holders a direct way to participate in the SparkDEX ecosystem while benefiting from **120,000 $SPRK in weekly staking emissions** and exclusive staking utilities such as Perpetuals fee discounts.&#x20;

At the same time, **100% of SparkDEX platform fees are directed to the Buyback & Burn program**, creating a direct connection between platform activity and $SPRK supply reduction. As trading activity and protocol usage grows, more fees are generated for Buyback & Burn, increasing the amount of $SPRK purchased from the open market and permanently removed from circulation. \
\
By staking $SPRK, holders can therefore participate in the ecosystem’s ongoing emissions while remaining aligned with the long-term growth and activity of SparkDEX.

**Benefits in a Nutshell:**

* **120,000 $SPRK Weekly Emissions**
* **Perps Fee Discounts**
* **Staking Participation**
* **Buyback & Burn Alignment**
