# Points Calculations

**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.

<Info>
  **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
</Info>

## 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:**

<Note>**Pool A:** \$500 value (**50%** of total)</Note>

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

<Note>**Pool B:** \$300 value (**30%** of total)</Note>

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

<Note>**Pool C:** \$200 value (**20%** of total)</Note>

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

<Tip>
  * **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**)
</Tip>

### 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**.

<Note>
  **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**
</Note>

<Warning>For the time being, **all pools** on **Sophon Mainnet** only have a **1x multiplier.**</Warning>

#### 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

<Info>
  **Pools update during:**

  * Token deposits and withdrawals
  * Boosting
  * Claiming Points
</Info>

### Reward Calculation

To calculate your earnings, use the following forumla:

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

<Info>
  **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
</Info>

<Tip>Points accumulate **continuously** while staking.</Tip>

***

## 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

<Warning>
  **Boosted assets are permanently locked to support liquidity on the Sophon network.**
</Warning>

**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.

<Tip>

## 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

<Note>**Your Earnings:** 100 SP</Note>

### Multiple Pools

**Two Pools:**

Values:

* **Pool A:** \$300
* **Pool B:** \$700

Per-Block Distribution:

* **Pool A:** 3 SP
* **Pool B:** 7 SP

<Note>
  **10-Block Earnings**

  * **Pool A User:** 30 SP
  * **Pool B User:** 70 SP
</Note>

### Multiple Pools with Multipliers

<Warning>For the time being, **all pools** on **Sophon Mainnet** only have a **1x multiplier.**</Warning>

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**

<Tip>**Total System Value:** `$1,200` + `$800` = **\$2,000 effective value**</Tip>

**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**

<Note>
  **10-Block Earnings**

  * **Pool A User:** 6 SP **×** 10 blocks = **60 SP**
  * **Pool B User:** 4 SP **×** 10 blocks = **40 SP**
</Note>

<Warning>
  **Remember**

  * Points generate **continuously** per block
  * **Larger stakes** yield **more points**
  * **Boosts increase earnings** but **lock tokens**
  * **Unboosted tokens** can be **withdrawn**
</Warning>

**Happy farming!** 🌾
