# What are the staking pools in the protocol?

There are 2 core pools which you can stake tokens in order to receive additional ILV tokens, as well as a third type (flash pools). Below is a detailed look at each pool:

### ILV pool

The ILV pool only holds ILV. It has a pool weight of 0.2

### ILV/ETH pool 

The ILV/ETH pool only holds Sushi LP tokens (SLP). It has a pool weight of 0.8

### Flash pools

These only hold the partner token. There is no set pool weight for these (because there can be many different pools), but they are substantially lower than other pools. Their purpose is to provide those outside of the $ILV project with some exposure to it. Each pool will have an announced pool weight before it goes live.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.illuvium.io/staking-v2/user-guides/about-illuvium-staking/what-are-the-staking-pools-in-the-protocol.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
