# Utilities

$**SPTs (Sports Performance Tokens)** are at the core of the SVM protocol — a new asset class that transforms how fans support, engage with, and benefit from the athletes they believe in.\
Each $SPT is not just a tradable token — it's the foundation of an ecosystem built around performance, fandom, rewards, and participation.

#### 🔁 Core Protocol Utilities

**Stake to Earn Rewards**\
Lock your $SPTs to earn weekly rewards tied directly to the athlete’s real-world performance.

**Sporties Generation**

* Buying SPTs earns Sporties (loyalty points)
* Selling SPTs costs you Sporties — especially during bonding curve launches (2x penalty)
* Staking generates daily Sporties (claimable weekly, after full holding days)

**Access Airdrops**\
Your Sporties earned from $SPT activity directly fuel your allocations in athlete token airdrops.

**Bonus Campaigns**\
SVM may host limited-time campaigns where staking or holding specific $SPTs gives bonus Sporties, commemorative rewards, or unique participation rights.
