# Short Liquidity Providing Tokens

### sLP Tokens (Short Liquidity Providing Tokens)

Users can short a zAsset by providing collateral to a mint contract. When a short position is created, a unique sLP token is minted for each zAsset, which is immediately staked without passing it to the user. The amount of sLP tokens minted is directly proportional to the amount of zAsset minted at CDP. The sLP Tokens are non-transferable and non-tradable. You can receive the price premium based on the difference between the price on DEX and the real-world price.

### Staking Rewards

The reward, $$R\_{k}$$for a specific staking pool corresponding to the asset $$k$$ with weight $$w\_k$$ and total sLP staking reward amount $$m$$, is given by:

$$
R\_{k}=\frac{w\_{k}}{\sum\_{i=1}^n{w\_{i}}}m
$$

The reward for LP NFT staking, based on the current short reward ratio$$r\_{s}$$ is:

$$
(1-r\_s)\frac{w\_{k}}{\sum\_{i=1}^n{w\_{i}}}m
$$

The reward for sLP staking, based on the current short reward ratio$$r\_{s}$$ is:

$$
r\_s\frac{w\_{k}}{\sum\_{i=1}^n{w\_{i}}}m
$$

A user will receive the portion of rewards for their pool equivalent to their proportional share of staked LP NFT and sLP for that pool.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zdxfi.gitbook.io/zdx-finance/protocol/staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
