# Real Farmer Rewards

Real Farmer's incentive system rewards all participants, whether you create strategies, copy them, or do both. Rewards are distributed via two mechanisms: **referral rewards** (a percentage of LP fees generated by connected users) and **yield boosts** (an extra percentage applied to your own LP fees).

### Copy Bonus Eligibility

To earn Copy Bonus rewards (referral rewards and yield boosts), your copied position must be worth at least **$50**. Positions below this threshold will still earn standard LP trading fees, but will not accumulate Copy Bonus rewards.

{% hint style="info" %}
The $50 minimum applies to the value of your copied position, not your total wallet balance. If your position drops below $50 due to market movements, Copy Bonus accumulation will pause until the position value recovers above the threshold.

#### Rewards Settlement and Claiming

Copy Bonus rewards are calculated **every minute**. Once a follower relationship is established, you'll see your bonus begin to accumulate, with updates typically visible within 2 minutes.

Rewards are settled in weekly epochs, every Monday. **After settlement, you have a 7-day claim window** starting from Tuesday through to the following Tuesday. **Unclaimed bonuses expire once this window closes, so be sure to claim your rewards each week.**

{% hint style="info" %}
The Estimated Value displayed in your dashboard is shown in USD, calculated using the token price at the moment each reward was generated. When you claim, you receive the actual token amount, so price fluctuations between generation and claiming may cause differences between the estimated and received value.
