# Surge

Participate in ALEX Surge and earn rewards by providing liquidity!

ALEX Surge is a round-based liquidity incentives program designed to reward participants, including liquidity providers (LPs) and voters who help distribute rewards.

By participating in Surge, LPs can stake their liquidity pool tokens (LP tokens) to earn additional $ALEX rewards, while voters can use their $ALEX or $LiALEX tokens to determine which liquidity pools receive a larger share of these rewards.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** LP tokens fluctuate in value based on pool activity and market conditions. Liquidity providers should consider factors like **impermanent loss** before staking in Surge.
{% endhint %}

Every Surge round consists of multiple stages, including **registration, voting & staking, and reward emissions**.

To join the current Surge campaign and start earning rewards, visit the [ALEX Surge App](https://app.alexlab.co/surge).

{% hint style="warning" %}
🚨 **Cut-off Dates in ALEX Surge**

Cut-off dates define the deadlines for each phase in a Surge round:

* **Registration Cut-off**: no new pools can join after this date.
* **Voting Cut-off**: votes are locked, finalizing reward distribution.
* **Staking Cut-off**: last opportunity to stake LP tokens.

The current phase is always visible on the Surge interface.

# Agent Instructions
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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.alexlab.co/what-can-you-do/surge.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
