# Farming

Farms allow users to earn BLDT  while supporting BlueLotusDAO by staking LP Tokens.

Check out our [How to Use Farms guide](farming/how-to-use-farms) to get started with farming.

## Reward calculations

Yield Farm APR calculations include both:

* **LP rewards APR** earned through providing liquidity and;
* **Farm base rewards APR** earned staking LP Tokens in the Farm.

Why? Because when you stake your LP tokens in a farm to earn BlueLotusDAO Tokens, you're still providing liquidity to the liquidity pool, so you earn LP rewards as well!

So how do we calculate those figures?

### Calculating Farm Base Reward APR

The **Farm Base APR** is calculated according to the farm multiplier and the total amount of liquidity in the farm -- this is the amount of tokens distributed to the farm.

### Calculating LP Reward APR

On top of that, farmers receive **LP rewards** for providing liquidity. Here's an example of calculating **LP rewards**:

In the pair above (FOR EXAMPLE), we see these values:

**Liquidity:** $XXX.XXM\
**Volume 24H:** $YY.YYM\
**Volume 7D:** XXX.XXM

* Calculate yearly fees
  * Use the 24H volume to calculate the **fee share** of liquidity providers in the pool (based on the 0.17% trading fee structure):\
    $YYY.YYY,YY\*0.17/100 = **$FFF,FFF**
  * Next, use that **fee share** to estimate the projected **yearly fees** earned by the pool (based on the current 24h volume):\
    $FFF,FFF\*365 = **$SSS.SSS,SS**
* We can now use the yearly fees to calculate the **LP rewards APR:** That's **yearly fees** divided by **liquidity:**\
  ($SS.SSS,SS/$XXX.XXX.XXX)\*100 = **??.??% LP reward APR**
