🚀Boosts

A boosted pool pays liquidity providers extra rewards on top of their share of swap fees. Deposit liquidity into such a pool and you earn both. Rewards accrue in real time and can be claimed at any moment.

Boosts are available for CPMM v2 pools only (since Jan 26, 2026).

How boosts work

• No extra steps. Just deposit liquidity — no staking of LP tokens or pool NFTs, unlike classic farming.

• Several boosts at once. One pool can be boosted with different tokens simultaneously.

• Anyone can boost. The tool is mainly used by founders rewarding their community, but it's open to everyone — you can boost a pool yourself, or extend and increase a running one.

How rewards are calculated

Boost rewards follow the same rule as trading fees: you receive a share proportional to your share of the pool, measured continuously. Deposit more, or deposit earlier, and you earn more.

• Boost APR is not fixed. It depends on how much liquidity sits in the pool: as liquidity grows, the same reward budget is split between more providers, and APR falls. As liquidity leaves, APR rises.

• Locked liquidity keeps earning. Boost rewards accrue on locked positions as well, just like trading fees.

• When a boost ends, rewards stop accruing. Anything you have already earned stays claimable indefinitely — there is no deadline and nothing expires.

Boosts don't protect you from impermanent loss. Extra rewards add to your yield, but they don't offset a change in the price ratio of the two tokens in the pair. Assess the pool on its own merits before depositing.

How to see that a pool is boosted

• On the Pools page, boosted pools carry a lightning icon. The "Boosted" filter shows only boosted pools.

• On a pool's own page, the lightning mark sits next to the Pool type badge, and Boost APR is above zero.

• New boosts are automatically announced in DeDust New Listings telegram channel.
