# Earn Other Tokens **How are these staking pools different from existing pools?**\ In Next-Gen staking pools CROX token will have a new use-case where you Stake CROX and Earn a new token. For example: Stake CROX , Earn BUSD. **How do these pools work?**\ These reward pools are called through a smart contract method. Partnered project funds the contract with necessary rewards before the pools are live. Once you stake in those pools you will start earning rewards. Initially we will introduce single token staking where you Stake CROX and earn XYZ token. We will plan to provide a facility for other projects to create their own pool as well and incentivize CROX holders. ![Next-Gen Pools](/files/-MjYj28woHgqirGjHYkW) Check out Next-Gen Pools here --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
