Boosted yield farming
Excalibur farms can be boosted with extra rewards of any token.
When a farm is boosted, it will have the following display on the farms list:
In this case, the higher APR range will include the boosted rewards into its calculations.
When clicking on a boosted farm, a new block content will be available:
The first line of information is about the general boosted rewards info:
Total incentives to be distributed during the whole boosted rewards session
APR of the boosted rewards session
Status indicates if the boost is active/inactive
Starts In/Ends In provides a countdown showing the remaining time before its next status change
The second part concerns the user-related information for the boosted rewards session
Eligible deposits displays the sum of your deposits made with the minimum required lock duration to earn from the boost. The "synced/not synced" indicator near to it will indicate you if you have additional deposits to synchronize for the session.
Synced deposits are the eligible deposits that have been synced, hence actively making you earn boosted rewards
Required lock duration is the minimum duration during which your deposit must be locked in order to be eligible for boosted rewards
Pending rewards shows how much boosted rewards can be harvested
How to start earning boosted rewards?
Lock a deposit into an eligible farm for at least the required lock duration. The deposit must be made after the start of the boosted rewards session, else it won't be eligible.
In case you already have a locked deposit with the required lock duration, you can simply renew its lock to make it eligible.
Your displayed eligible deposit will show a "not synced" indicator, and the button "Synchronized" will become available. Click it* and confirm the transaction: you should now have a "synced" mention, and both your eligible deposit and synced deposit should display the same values.
You will now earn rewards that you can harvest many times. Note that the "Harvest all" button on the farm page currently does not interact with the boosted rewards.
* Rewards will be automatically harvested when making a new synchronization
