sWBERA(StakedsWBERA (Staked WBERA) is a yield-bearing token that represents your staked $BERA position in the Staking Vault. It provides non-dilutive yield through Proof of Liquidity incentive redirection. For the Staking Vault (wBERA Staker Vault) contract address, see Deployed contracts.

How to Get $sWBERA

sWBERAtokensareissuedwhenyoustakesWBERA tokens are issued when you stake BERA or WBERAintheStakingVault.FordetailedinstructionsonhowtostakeBERAandreceiveWBERA in the Staking Vault. For detailed instructions on how to stake BERA and receive sWBERA tokens, see the $BERA token page. You can stake either native BERA(whichthesystemautomaticallywrapstoBERA (which the system automatically wraps to WBERA) or WBERAdirectlyifyoualreadyhavewrappedWBERA directly if you already have wrapped BERA tokens. Both methods result in receiving $sWBERA tokens representing your staked position.

How $sWBERA Works

​
Non-Dilutive Yield Mechanism

sWBERAearnsyieldthrougha∗∗non−dilutivemechanism∗∗thatdoesn′tinflatethetokensupply.Instead,theunderlyingvalueofeachsWBERA earns yield through a **non-dilutive mechanism** that doesn't inflate the token supply. Instead, the underlying value of each sWBERA token increases as the vault accumulates more WBERA from incentive fees.

​
Proof of Liquidity Incentive Redirection

The yield comes from the 33% incentive tax collected from PoL protocols. When protocols pay incentives to validators for directing BGTemissions,a33BGT emissions, a 33% fee is collected during incentive distribution and sent to the Incentive Fee Collector. These fees are then auctioned for WBERA through automated market mechanisms, and the WBERAisdistributedtoStakingVaultstakers,increasingthevalueofWBERA is distributed to Staking Vault stakers, increasing the value of sWBERA tokens.

​
Auto-Compounding

Your rewards automatically compound without any manual intervention. No claiming is required as rewards are automatically reinvested, causing your $sWBERA tokens to increase in value over time.

​
Unstaking sWBERA

​
7-Day Unbonding Period

To convert your sWBERAtokensbacktosWBERA tokens back to BERA or $WBERA, you’ll need to unstake through the Staking Vault. The unstaking process has a 7-day unbonding period:
  1. Initiate withdrawal: Queue a withdrawal request through the Staking Vault interface
  2. Wait 7 days: Your withdrawal request enters a 7-day cooldown period
  3. Complete withdrawal: After the unbonding period ends, return to the interface to complete the withdrawal and receive your $WBERA tokens

​
Important Considerations

  • No rewards earned during the unbonding period
  • Withdrawal requests expire after 7 days if not completed
  • Multiple requests: You can have multiple withdrawal requests active simultaneously
  • Cancellation: Withdrawal requests can be cancelled before completion
For detailed instructions on the unstaking process, see the $BERA token page.
