# Case Studies

The following scenarios use simulated numbers to illustrate how the Real Farmer reward system works in practice. Referral rewards are always-on; yield boost figures shown assume an active promotional campaign and are included to demonstrate the full potential of the system.

## Case Study 1: Alice, the Creator

Alice is an experienced LP who provides $10,000 in concentrated liquidity to the SOL–USDC pool on Byreal. She makes her position visible on the Real Farmer leaderboard and shares her profile with her community.

### Week 1

Alice's position earns $120 in LP trading fees from the SOL–USDC pool. With no followers yet, she earns no Copy Bonus rewards. She also earns liquidity incentives from the pool's incentive programme.

| **Revenue Source**                    | **Amount**  |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| LP Trading Fees                       | $120.00     |
| Referral Rewards                      | $0.00       |
| Yield Boost (campaign — no followers) | $0.00       |
| **Total Week 1**                      | **$120.00** |

### Week 2

By the second week, Alice has attracted 8 followers, each deploying an average of $5,000 in the same pool. Alice's position continues generating $120/week in base fees. Her followers collectively generate $480/week in LP fees.

| **Revenue Source**                            | **Amount**  |
| --------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| LP Trading Fees (own position)                | $120.00     |
| Referral Rewards (5% of $480)                 | $24.00      |
| Yield Boost (campaign, \~7% with 8 followers) | $8.40       |
| **Total Week 2**                              | **$152.40** |

**Alice's weekly earnings have increased by 27% compared to Week 1,** purely through Copy Bonus rewards, and without having to deploy any additional capital.

## Case Study 2: Bob, the Follower who becomes a Leader

Bob is new to DeFi. He has $3,000 and wants to earn yield but doesn't know how to set up an LP position. He browses the Real Farmer leaderboard, finds Alice's SOL–USDC strategy (ranked #2, position age 28 days, 8 copiers), and copies it with one click.

### Week 1

Bob's $3,000 position earns $36 in LP trading fees (same pool, proportional to his capital). He also begins accumulating Copy Bonus rewards from the Real Farmer system. Because he follows Alice, he also immediately starts earning a 5% referral reward on Alice's LP fees.

| **Revenue Source**                            | **Amount** |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| LP Trading Fees                               | $36.00     |
| Referral from leader (5% of Alice's $120)     | $6.00      |
| Referral from own followers                   | $0.00      |
| Yield Boost (campaign — no own followers yet) | $0.00      |
| **Total Week 1**                              | **$42.00** |

### Week 2

Bob shares his position with friends. Three of them copy his strategy, deploying a combined $6,000. Bob is now both a Follower (of Alice) and a Leader (to his 3 followers).

| **Revenue Source**                            | **Amount** |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| LP Trading Fees (own position)                | $36.00     |
| Referral from leader (5% of Alice's $120)     | $6.00      |
| Referral from own followers (2.5% of $72)     | $1.80      |
| Yield Boost (campaign, \~3% with 3 followers) | $1.08      |
| **Total Week 2**                              | **$44.88** |

B**ob earns more than he would as a solo LP with the same capital**, with most of that uplift coming simply from following Alice and earning a share of her fees. Building his own crew adds further rewards on top. Everyone in the network earns more than they would alone.
