# A51 Utility

## Staking

### A51 Token Ecosystem Staking Modes

The A51 Token ecosystem offers two distinct staking modes, each designed to provide unique benefits to participants:

#### **Stake to Earn Rewards**

Users have the option to stake their A51 Tokens to earn rewards. These rewards are sourced from the revenue generated by Liquidity Providers (LPs). The protocol will use 50% of this revenue to purchase wETH (Wrapped Ether), which will then be distributed as a reward to those who have staked their A51 tokens.

#### **Stake to Participate in Governance**

For those interested in participating in governance, users can stake either A51 tokens to earn the rights to participate in governance. The weightage for voting in governance matters will be determined based on the amount of tokens staked.
