# Staking Guide

<mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> can be staked within the VirtuSwap ecosystem. Users can earn APRs by staking the token without needing to lock it, and they can also receive additional benefits by <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> locking.

Besides that, <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> staking incentivizes the liquidity provision on VirtuSwap:

🔸 <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> staking instantly boosts LP returns, across all LP positions;

🔸 <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> increases the LP return boost;

🔸 Locking <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> provides a further spike to LP return boost up to x2.&#x20;

**These features enhance the utility of $VRSW. It's designed to contribute to the protocol growth, including the TVL and trading volume on VirtuSwap, reduce trading costs, and unlock VirtuSwap's full potential as a unique solution for trading 99% of assets.**

**Where do you get $VRSW if you want to stake it? Currently, there are two options:**

1. Swap <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> in the VRSW-WETH pool on VirtuSwap on Polygon or Arbitrum: <https://app.virtuswap.io/pools>
2. Swap <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> on Quickswap on Polygon: <https://quickswap.exchange/#/analytics/v3/pair/0x352dd20a9f9dc55f146b89697d21347ca99d59a1>

**How can one compute their return boost from staking and/or locking VRSW?**

There is also a staking **calculator**, in which an LP can choose the amount of <mark style="color:orange;">$VRSW</mark> to stake, whether to lock it, and the duration of lock, and receive the current weighted average boost to their APR across all pools to which they provide liquidity, for example:
