Maximizing Rewards

Highest-Earning Activities

  2. CDP minting (especially during bonus periods)
  3. Lending supply (large amounts, long duration)
  4. Borrowing (pays interest but earns Reward Points)

Check current boosts in app's Rewards section.

Optimal Strategies

Strategy 1: Liquidity Focus

  1. Provide liquidity to high-reward pools
  2. Keep positions for extended periods
  3. Claim and reinvest rewards weekly
  4. Compound for maximum growth

Strategy 2: CDP Efficiency

  1. Mint USDST via CDP (lower fees than borrowing)
  2. Use minted USDST for other activities
  3. Earn Reward Points from both CDP and other activities
  4. Maintain healthy collateralization ratio

Strategy 3: Diversified Approach

  1. Split capital across activities
  2. Borrow, provide liquidity, and mint via CDP
  3. Earn from multiple sources
  4. Reduces risk concentration

Timing Considerations

Boost periods:

  • Watch for special boost events
  • Increase participation during high-reward periods
  • Check announcements for bonuses

Gas optimization:

  • Batch claim rewards with other transactions
  • Claim during low activity periods (if variable gas)

Reward Seasons

  • Verify you have active positions

"Claim transaction failed"

Causes:

  • Insufficient USDST for gas
  • Rewards already claimed
  • Network congestion

Fix:

  • Get USDST for gas fees
  • Refresh page to see updated balance
  • Try again after a few seconds

"Rewards lower than expected"

Reasons:

  • Rates changed during season
  • More participants (dilutes pool)
  • Position size decreased
  • Rates apply to partial period

Check:

  • Current rates in app
  • Your position history
  • Season changes

Understanding Reward Math

How Rewards Are Calculated

General formula: 

Your rewards = (Your share of activity) × (Total pool rewards) × (Time period)

Example - Liquidity rewards:

  • Total pool: 10,000 Reward Points per month
  • Your liquidity: $10,000
  • Total pool liquidity: $1,000,000
  • Your share: 1%
  • Your rewards: 10,000 × 1% = 100 Points per month

APR Calculation

Annual Percentage Rate (APR): 

APR = (Annual rewards in $) / (Your position value in $) × 100%

Example:

  • Your position: $10,000
  • Monthly rewards: 100 Points
  • Reward Point price: $2
  • Monthly $ rewards: 100 × $2 = $200
  • Annual $ rewards: $200 × 12 = $2,400
  • APR: $2,400 / $10,000 = 24%

Note

APR is estimated and changes with Reward Point price, reward rates, and participation levels.
