# Reward Structure and Incentives

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).

## Overview of Reward Types
