## What is Boost

Boost is a revolutionary way for products and enthusiasts to reward users for providing liquidity. Think of it as a farming campaign with a focus on user experience (UX), suitable for newbies, and offering opportunities that are attractive to experienced crypto users.

**Boosted** [liquidity pool](https://help.dedust.io/en/ru/pools#what-is-liquidity-pool) is a pool with additional rewards for liquidity providers. Simply [deposit liquidity](https://help.dedust.io/en/ru/liquidity/deposit) into a pool and start earning not only the [share of swap fees](https://help.dedust.io/en/ru/protocol/fees#swap-fee-distribution), but also enjoy extra rewards on top of it.

Launched yet in January, 2024, Boosts have already passed an impressive open and transparent live test by thousands of users, including those who took part in [The Open League](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] in 2024, when together with DeDust, [over $10M](#user-content-fn-2)[^2] have been distributed through Boosts between DeDust pools liquidity providers.

Since **Jan 26, 2025,** improved version of Boosts system is available. Only for [CPMM v2 pools](https://help.dedust.io/en/ru/pools/types#claimable-fees-pool-cpmm-v2). Unlike it was in elder Boosts version, now rewards are distributed in real-time, instantly after the boost launch.

## Advantages of boost compared to regular farming

* Boosts do not require any additional actions besides depositing liquidity. There's no need to transfer [LP tokens](#user-content-fn-3)[^3] (or liquidity pool's NFTs) for farming — you can simply deposit liquidity into a boosted pool and start receiving additional rewards right away.
* One pool may be boosted by several different tokens at the same time. Anyone can add rewards (Boosts) to any pool. There is no limit to the total amount of Boosts happening simultaneously in one pool. Already running boosts may be exteded or increased in total rewards budget.

Although the tool is primarily designed to help founders reward their community, Boosts decentralized nature allows anyone to provide rewards and [boost a pool](#user-content-fn-4)[^4]. Feel free to support your favorite token.
