# How to Earn

waveX is a liquidity pool-based perpetual DEX built on Soneium. Traders can open leveraged positions using assets provided by Liquidity Providers (LPs) via the ‘Earn’ page. LPs deposit assets into the LP pool and receive fsWLP/fsWELP tokens in return.

#### Note

* **WLP vs. WELP**
  * **WLP** represents the deposit token that LPs receive when they provide liquidity in assets such as wBTC, wETH, USDC.e, or ASTR.
  * **WELP** represents the deposit token that LPs receive when they deposit **EL tokens**.
  * In other words, waveX operates two separate vaults. When users deposit into the EL-only vault, they receive **WELP tokens** in return.
* **WLP/WELP vs. fsWLP/fsWELP**
  * By design, when users purchase WLP or WELP, the tokens are automatically staked. In return, they receive **fsWLP** or **fsWELP**, which serve as the staked versions of the original tokens. These staked tokens are used as the basis for earning points and other rewards.
  * When users sell fsWLP or fsWELP, those tokens are burned. At the same time, the corresponding WLP/WELP are unstaked and then burned as well, with the chosen underlying asset (e.g., EL, wBTC, etc.) being withdrawn to the user.
