# xRHEA Farming Boost

### Overview

xRHEA Farming Boost allows users to lock xRHEA tokens in exchange for boosted incentive rewards on their [farm APYs](https://app.rhea.finance/pools?activeTab=farm). The longer the lock-up period, the greater the boost — up to a maximum of 6 months.

### List of 7 Boosted farm Pools on RHEA

| Farm Pools     | Link                                  |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| rNEAR-NEAR     | <https://app.rhea.finance/sauce/6494> |

### How it works

Lock xRHEA → Earn Weight → Get Boosted APYs on Farming

The program operates in two sections:

1. Weight Algorithm – Calculates your Weight based on the amount and duration of xRHEA locked.
2. Farming Multiplier Algorithm – Converts your Weight into a reward boost factor.

### 1. Weight Algorithm

Your Weight is determined by:

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcK-zvUam_7OLgZSrZecUvTX29tv-8DFbtOY6-QNkVTB5c8GnGMUsgEs3-E2AuqxlkqffiIBH3xSXW0bhyElyJp3ysTbblAI57GFpYB0r4wmIs3eBngR-4OPKkf1v16e2PwZXFgjw?key=eHiEe45NobqJ6LiYnRuSDg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Where:

* Y = Weight
* X = The amount of xRHEA locked
* D = Lock duration (from 30 to 180 days)
* D\_min = 30
* D\_max = 180
* M\_min = 10,000

M\_max = 30,000

### Example Weight Table&#x20;

| xRHEA Locked | Lock Duration | Weight Received |
| ------------ | ------------- | --------------- |
| 100 xRHEA    | 1 Month       | 100             |
| 100 xRHEA    | 3.5 Months    | 200             |
| 100 xRHEA    | 6 Months      | 300             |

> The longer you lock, the higher the Weight (up to 3x boost at 180 days)

### 2. Farming Multiplier Algorithm

Once Weight is calculated, it’s converted into a Farming Multiplier, which boosts the user’s share of the incentive rewards pool.

Where:

* Y = user's Weight
* boost\_suppress\_factor = 100
* base = 38634105686174997042188779520

#### Farming Multiplier Table

| Weight Amount | Farming Multiplier |
| ------------- | ------------------ |
| 1,500         | 1.111x             |
| 15,000        | 1.205x             |
| 150,000       | 1.300x             |
| 1,500,000     | 1.394x             |
| 15,000,000    | 1.488x             |

### Example: How Rewards Are Distributed

Imagine the rNEAR-NEAR farm emits 9.89% APY in incentive rewards.

#### Case 1:  New User Without xRHEA Lock when farming

<table><thead><tr><th width="82.4423828125">User</th><th width="207.7041015625">USD value staked in farm</th><th width="107.9534912109375">Weight </th><th width="111.199951171875">Multiplier</th><th width="79.728515625">APY</th><th>Boosted APY</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Charlie</td><td>1,000</td><td>0</td><td>1.000x</td><td>9.89%</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Case 2: xRHEA Lock Boosted Users when farming&#x20;

### Updated incentive rewards allocation for rNEAR-NEAR farm

**Alice: 12.85% APY**

**Bob: 10.44% APY**

**Charlie: 9.89% APY (Not Boosted)**
