Key Takeaway- Most staking coins create new supply, which dilutes holders.
- WXT works the other way: WEEX burns WXT every quarter, so the total supply shrinks.
- If burns continue at their recent pace, a WXT staker's share of supply grows faster than the staking APR alone.
How WXT Staking Works on WEEX
WXT staking on WEEX pays rewards in WXT through flexible and fixed-term products. When WXT staking launched on March 20, 2026, WEEX listed about 1% APR for flexible and 2.5% APR for fixed-term- Flexible WXT staking: redeem anytime and keep the rewards earned.
- Fixed-term WXT staking: coins are committed for the term. Redeeming early forfeits all rewards for that term.
- Rewards: paid in WXT.
How WXT Burns Shrink the Supply
WEEX has burned WXT on a quarterly schedule since 2025. WXT started with a supply of 10 billion. As of October 20, 2026, WEEX lists 4,253,096,699 WXT burned and a total supply of 5,746,903,301 WXT.The two most recent burns were similar in size:- Q4 2025 burn: 65,894,735 WXT, about 1.12% of supply at the time
- Q1 2026 burn: 62,998,141 WXT, about 1.08% of supply at the time
Burn size depends on how the platform performs.What Burns Add to Your Share of Supply
A staker's share of supply grows from two sides. Rewards add WXT to your balance. Burns shrink the total pool. Together, they grow your slice faster than either one alone.If the pace of the last two burns continued for a year, the supply would shrink about 4.3%. Here is what that would mean for 1,000 WXT held for a year:- Fixed-term staking at 2.5%: your share of supply grows about 7.1%.
- Flexible staking at 1%: your share grows about 5.6%.
- Not staking: your share still grows about 4.5%, from burns alone.
The formula is: share growth = (1 + APR) ÷ (1 - supply reduction) - 1.This is the opposite of coins like SOL, where new supply shrinks the share of anyone who does not stake. -- Price
------Why a Bigger Share Is Not the Same as Profit
A growing share of supply does not always mean a gain in dollars. WXT's price is set by the market, not by supply alone. A price drop can outweigh both rewards and burns.Keep these limits in mind:- Burns are not fixed. They depend on quarterly profit and can shrink or stop.
- Platform concentration. WXT is WEEX's platform token, so its value is tied to one exchange.
- Rates can change. WXT staking APRs are estimates.
Flexible or Fixed: Which WXT Staking Fits You?
The choice depends on how you use WXT. Holders who rely on WXT perks or may sell soon need access. Long-term holders can accept a lock for a higher rate.- Choose flexible if you trade WXT or want to exit quickly.
- Choose fixed-term if you plan to hold through the full term.
