# Soul Staking

SeanceCircle functions as the means by which one may unlock the full potential of your SoulPower. **SEANCE** represents staked **SOUL** and is required collateral for unlocking your staked **SOUL**. Namely, **the only way to unstake your SOUL is by burning your SEANCE.**\
\
We do this in order to add intrinsic value to **SEANCE** as a means of account, such that every **SEANCE** in circulation represent a **SOUL** that is staked in our protocol. In other words, one less **SOUL** on the market and one more loyal member of our SeanceCircle.
