CPX Staking overview
CPX staking is in active development. This page captures the target design.
CPX is the governance and revenue-share token of ClearPortX. Staking it does three things at once:
- Locks your tokens into the staking module, reducing circulating supply.
- Earns revenue — a pro-rata share of protocol fees and Canton Featured App Rewards.
- Grants governance rights — voting on parameter changes, new pool listings, treasury allocations.
The sCPX receipt token
Section titled “The sCPX receipt token”When you stake CPX, you receive sCPX — a receipt token with a growing redemption ratio. You do not receive “more sCPX” over time; instead, each sCPX becomes redeemable for a slightly larger amount of CPX as revenue accumulates in the module.
This design choice makes sCPX composable with the rest of the ClearPortX stack. It can be supplied as lending collateral, LPed in a DLMM pool (sCPX/CPX pair), and used as a governance voting unit — all without breaking the accounting.
Revenue streams flowing to stakers
Section titled “Revenue streams flowing to stakers”Protocol fees
5% of all DLMM swap fees, plus the reserve factor portion of all money-market interest, flows to the staking module. Distributed pro-rata to sCPX holders.
Featured App Rewards
ClearPortX is eligible for Canton’s Featured App Rewards program. A configurable share of these CC rewards flows to sCPX holders.
Why not Canton Coin staking
Section titled “Why not Canton Coin staking”Canton Network does not currently support user-delegable proof-of-stake. Only approved Super Validators earn CC directly for network liveness. A Lido-style liquid staking wrapper on CC is therefore not possible at the time of writing — see Why Canton for the architectural context.
When and if Canton enables user-level delegation, ClearPortX will ship a liquid staking product as an addition to CPX staking, not a replacement. In the meantime, CPX staking captures real revenue from real usage today.
