Sophon Farming is a way to earn rewards by staking your tokens in various pools. This guide explains how the system works and how to optimize your earnings.

Key Concepts

  • Points are generated every block and shared across pools
  • Your earnings are based on your staked tokens
  • Boosting can increase your rewards
  • Pool values determine point distribution
  • Some pools may have a multiplier greater than 1

​
Points Distribution

Block Generation

Every block, a fixed number of points (10 SPs) are created and distributed among active pools based on their relative value.

Example:

Imagine we have 3 active pools with a combined value of $1,000:

Pool A: $500 value (50% of total)

Gets 5 SPs per block (50% of 10 SPs)

Pool B: $300 value (30% of total)

Gets 3 SPs per block (30% of 10 SPs)

Pool C: $200 value (20% of total)

Gets 2 SPs per block (20% of 10 SPs)

  • Total System Value: $1,000
  • Total SPs Per Block: 10 SPs
  • Emission Rate: 0.01 SP per USD equivalent staked
  • Pool A Share: 0.005 SPs (50% of emissions)

​
Pool Value Calculation

Pool Value = (Total Tokens Staked × Token Price × Pool Multiplier)

The higher a pool’s relative value, the more points it receives from the global distribution.

Pool Multipliers

  • Multipliers (usually 2x or 3x) increase the rewards for certain pools, making them more appealing
  • The higher the multiplier, the more rewards you earn for the same amount staked
For the time being, all pools on Sophon Mainnet only have a 1x multiplier.

​
Example Distribution

Given:

  • Pool A: $300 in staked tokens
  • Pool B: $700 in staked tokens
  • Total value: $1,000

Distribution:

  • Pool A receives 30% (300 ÷ 1,000)
  • Pool B receives 70% (700 ÷ 1,000)

​
Pool Mechanics

Pools update during:

  • Token deposits and withdrawals
  • Boosting
  • Claiming Points

​
Reward Calculation

To calculate your earnings, use the following forumla:

SPs per block = (Your Stake / Pool Total Stake) × Pool Share

Where:

  • Your Stake: Amount of tokens you’ve deposited in the pool
  • Pool Total Stake: Total amount of tokens deposited in the pool by all users
  • Pool Share: Number of SPs allocated to the pool per block
Points accumulate continuously while staking.

​
Boosts

Boosts are multipliers that enhance your earning power by increasing your effective stake. When you apply a boost:

  • You choose how many of your staked tokens to boost.
  • Boosted tokens earn accelerated rewards, calculated using the boost multiplier (5x).
  • These tokens are permanently committed to providing liquidity on Sophon Mainnet.
  • Unboosted tokens can be withdrawn at any time.

​
How Boosts Work

Boosting is a strategic choice to maximize your Sophon Points (SPs) earnings by allocating part of your deposit to a higher reward rate. But remember, this comes with a commitment

Boosted assets are permanently locked to support liquidity on the Sophon network.

Example:

  • You have staked 100 tokens in a pool.
  • You apply a 5x boost to 50 of your tokens.
  • Those 50 boosted tokens now count as 250 tokens (50 × 5).
  • Your remaining 50 tokens stay unboosted, counting as 50.
  • Your total effective stake is now 300 tokens (250 from boosted + 50 from unboosted).
  • This means a 200% increase in point earnings.

For more on boosting, see Boosts.

Example Calculations

​
One Pool

  • Points per Block: 10 SP
  • Pool Multiplier: 1x
  • Token Price: $2.00
  • Your Stake: 100 tokens

After 10 blocks:

  • Total Points Generated: 100 SP
Your Earnings: 100 SP

​
Multiple Pools

Two Pools:

Values:

  • Pool A: $300
  • Pool B: $700

Per-Block Distribution:

  • Pool A: 3 SP
  • Pool B: 7 SP

10-Block Earnings

  • Pool A User: 30 SP
  • Pool B User: 70 SP

​
Multiple Pools with Multipliers

For the time being, all pools on Sophon Mainnet only have a 1x multiplier.

As aforementioned, some pools can have a multiplier greater than 1. Here’s how this works in practice:

Two Pools (Base Values):

  • Pool A: $400× 3x multiplier = $1,200 effective value
  • Pool B: $800 × 1x multiplier = $800 effective value
Total System Value: $1,200 + $800 = $2,000 effective value

Per-Block Distribution (10 SP total):

  • Pool A: ($1,200 / $2,000) × 10 SP = 6 SP per block
  • Pool B: ($800 / $2,000) × 10 SP = 4 SP per block

10-Block Earnings

  • Pool A User: 6 SP × 10 blocks = 60 SP
  • Pool B User: 4 SP × 10 blocks = 40 SP

Remember

  • Points generate continuously per block
  • Larger stakes yield more points
  • Boosts increase earnings but lock tokens
  • Unboosted tokens can be withdrawn

Happy farming! 🌾
