**What is x**R&#x41;**?**\
xRA is a new solution developed by the RA team to address the sustainability challenge associated with the natural fluctuations in flywheel operations. It serves as a non-transferable representation of 1 unit of RA, securely stored within the xRA token smart contract. xRA provides users with several conversion options to both RA and veRA, each with unique penalties and vesting periods.

{% hint style="info" %}
xRA is not a replacement for RA. Users still earn RA emissions, rebases, and other sources.
