Farming is a way to receive additional rewards by depositing your LP tokens into a dedicated rewards contract. In addition to swap fees from the underlying pool, your position also accrues extra incentive tokens.
STON.fi has two kinds of farms:
- Farms without a lock-up period — you can withdraw your LP tokens at any time.
- Farms with a lock-up period — your LP tokens stay locked for the duration shown in the farm's details. The remaining time until withdrawal is visible in the farm interface.
The farm automatically tracks your share and accumulates rewards over time. Farming typically offers higher reward rates than swap-fee accrual alone, but it also carries added smart-contract and market risk. Reward rates are variable and not guaranteed. Farming is most effective when combined with pools that already generate steady swap-fee activity.
