Users stake **XRP** into yield-bearing vaults and receive **non-transferable** share tokens (e.g., `aXRP`). As stablecoin liquidity develops on XRPL EVM Sidechain, governance may approve additional vaults for assets like **RLUSD**, **USDC**, **USDT** or wrapped versions of XRP like FXRP, mXRP, and stXRP. These vaults accumulate yield from market activity and define the governance power structure of the ecosystem. Share tokens are non-transferable to preserve governance integrity. They represent: * Yield-bearing positions that automatically appreciate as fees flow into the vaults * Governance weight tied directly to the staker's address * Eligibility tracking for percentile-based market creation and voting rights Stakers may deposit or withdraw when they are not subject to active governance locks, but cannot sell or transfer their governance position to another address. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.axiomprotocol.io/protocol-design/axiom-prime.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
