# SVX Mining

SVX is mined by burning and trading SOV

SVX is mined by burning SOV, either through trading on SOVDEX, or via ‘burnmining’.

When you *send* SOV to the sovdexrelays contract account, it will automatically be refunded and you will be rewarded a % of the svxmintofeos account balance based on the amount of SOV burned according to the table below. 

When you *trade* SOV on SOVDEX, the SOV you burn per trade will also earn SVX rewards, which will have diminishing returns for the size of the SOV amount burned based on a log formula, according to the table below.
