# Tokens

WaxFusion has 2 native tokens - sWAX and lsWAX.  Both of them are fully backed with actual WAX tokens, and started off with a supply of 0.

These tokens are minted on demand when new WAX tokens are deposited into the platform, and destroyed again upon redemption. Therefore, their supply is elastic, and limited to the amount of WAX in WaxFusion's smart contracts.

You can find more details about both tokens using the links in this section.

| WAX Per Token                                 | 1 WAX = 1 sWAX always           | Depends on how much WAX each 1 lsWAX is backed with. As lsWAX gets backed with more WAX, 1 lsWAX always goes up in value against 1 WAX |

And to understand the benefits of WaxFusion, here's another table comparing lsWAX to staking WAX on your own.
