# What is SO and how to get SO

## What Is $SO?

$SO is the governance token on SoSwap. The main reason for issuing $SO is to solve the impermanent loss problem caused by AMM, and to stimulate the liquidity of SoSwap in a disguised form.

$SO is different from other tokens in that there is no private placement, presale, and the team does not possess any coins. All coins are dug from zero.

The total issuance of $SO is 210,000. Such a rare quantity also helps the price of $SO to perform well. There are a total of 210,000 $SO, with an output of 0.05 pieces per minute and 72 pieces per day.

&#x20;$SO Halving takes place every 2.1 million minutes (about 4 years with a margin of 40 hours of error).

## How To Get $SO?

[Providing liquidity](../function/trade/how-to-use-pool) is the main way to get it although users can make purchases in SoSwap as well. However in the early stages, there must be more $SO obtained through liquidity mining and the cost will be lower.

Note:You also need to stake your LP tokens after pledging liquidity. The steps are similar to [Earn](../function/earn/how-to-use-earn).

## How To Stake LP Token?

There is something you have to know before staking.

* Which Farm you can stake depands on which pool's LP Token you have.One kind of LP Token can only be staked in the same kind of Farm.
* Every Farm names **"Earn SO"**,the difference among the Farms is the logo and the character below the name(**PCX-XBTC LP**).
* **"Earned"** is equal to **"SO EARNED"**,which shows the amount of $SO you can claim.
* **"Share"** is the percentage of the weight of the pool.
* **"Your Staked"** is the amount of LP Token you staked here.
* The function of **"Rewards"** is similar to **"Share".**&#x49;t shows how much $SO will be allocated here.

Then you can see the **balance** of LP Token in corresponding Farm and choose the amount to stake.

If you wanna claim your $SO earned,just click **"Claim"** at any time. Besides,you can claim some or all of your LP token staked by clicking **"Redeem"**.&#x20;

## What's The Weight Of Each Farm?

Here is the weight of earn Farm.It's different from what we said in the [AMA](https://medium.com/@soswap.finance/ama-transcript-how-to-get-so-9ffd7280878), because there are more pools added.

Subsequent adjustment will be determined by the holders of $SO.

{% hint style="info" %}
It shows the amount of $SO allocated in each pool per day for the current phase.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Now you can stake your LP Tokens in the Farms and wait for the $SO you earned.
