Yield Farming is one of the core features of the Beamswap DeFi Hub. It rewards you for depositing liquidity pool tokens.

Go to <https://app.beamswap.io/farm> and browse the listed farms. Currently, the following pools are active on Beamswap Farms:

* POOP - GLMR
* xcIBTC - USDC
* GLMR - USDC
* Multi 4pool (BUSD - USDT - USDC - DAI)
* GLMR
* xcDOT - GLMR
* GLINT - GLMR
* BNB - BUSD
* ETH - USDC
* BEANS - GLMR

{% hint style="info" %}
You can find the previously active farms under the “Inactive” tab.
{% endhint %}

In the chosen farm pair, click “Details”, review the information such as the APR and Liquidity, and click “Stake”. Enter the amount you want to stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

<figure><img src="https://4237212995-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9tC9qDROHxBdPo4ntPQ5%2Fuploads%2FrYJSmXrOAP5VZqS4kG2N%2Fbeamswap-yield-farm-stake.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bf7a46f7-df38-43a0-a104-ea9b7ebe10f9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To unstake, simply choose “Unstake”. Specify the amount, click “Unstake”, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

<figure><img src="https://4237212995-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9tC9qDROHxBdPo4ntPQ5%2Fuploads%2FCWdHruPcHsBdn2XgG7KK%2Fbeamswap-yield-farm-unstake.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6b7f42db-c807-4f76-b2e8-fbb318824325" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Rewards

Most farms provide dual rewards:

* $GLINT, Beamswap’s native token
* $rTIDE, Surfswap’s $TIDE on Beamswap

Some featured farms, however, provide triple rewards, adding another reward asset to the two above, for example (subject to change):

* $POOP rewards in the POOP - GLMR farm
* $GLMR rewards in the Multi 4pool farm and GLMR - xcUSDT farm
* $xcINTR rewards in the xcIBTC - USDC farm

<figure><img src="https://4237212995-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9tC9qDROHxBdPo4ntPQ5%2Fuploads%2Fxnm7CFixr2k9ausnRifD%2Fbeamswap-yield-farm-featured-farms.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ce79a96c-f0e2-4ff9-bb4c-0ea22307c006" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
To receive double and triple rewards, you should interact with the farms, either through deposit, harvest, or withdrawal, in any of the Beamswap pools.
{% endhint %}

## APR

APR or Annual Percentage Rate represents the annual rate of return and is expressed in percentages.

On Beamswap Farms, you can find more details behind the listed APR by hovering over the 🛈 symbol:

* Reward APR
* LP APR
* $TIDE Reward APR

## Liquidity provision <a href="#yield-farms-liquidity-provision" id="yield-farms-liquidity-provision"></a>

Liquidity pools contain locked crypto tokens supplied by the platform users and run as smart contracts. They represent the essential funds that keep powering the DeFi features of Beamswap.

You can provide liquidity to the Beamswap DEX by depositing one or more assets into a liquidity pool and earn trading fees or lending interest.

### Add liquidity

{% hint style="warning" %}
To add liquidity, you need $GLINT tokens equal to the value of liquidity tokens you would like to add to Beamswap. If you don't have $GLINT yet, you can swap other tokens for it (check out [this guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4elN225hg2I)).
{% endhint %}

Go to <https://app.beamswap.io/exchange/pool>.

Since you have no tokens in liquidity pools to begin with, click “Add Liquidity”.

<figure><img src="https://4237212995-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9tC9qDROHxBdPo4ntPQ5%2Fuploads%2Fnnr9NA3fsFNXPzzxvZU4%2Fbeamswap-yield-farm-add-liquidity.png?alt=media&#x26;token=382054c2-2eaf-42f7-8a81-d72371cda7a5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Next, choose one or more tokens you would like to add to liquidity pools.

Select an equal ratio of selected tokens and click “Confirm Adding Liquidity”. The pop-up window shows the output you will receive on Beamswap.

<figure><img src="https://4237212995-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9tC9qDROHxBdPo4ntPQ5%2Fuploads%2FbqjHJcJIBx2nrYtaQFyO%2Fbeamswap-yield-farm-add-liquidity-confirm.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5ff9f28e-94a8-4a03-bd96-eeb38fa9e9f2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you agree, click “Confirm Supply”.

Lastly, confirm the transaction in your wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can optimize transactions under “Settings” in the top right corner.
{% endhint %}

### Remove liquidity

To remove your liquidity tokens from the pool, go to tab “Liquidity” tab, and next to the token pair, click “Manage”.

Click “Remove” and then “Confirm Withdrawal”. Once again, confirm the transaction in your wallet.
