Creating an ecosystem farm

Ecosystem farms let projects bootstrap liquidity by incentivizing LPs with token rewards. Any project or user can create a farm.

Read this entire guide before creating a farm.

Before you start

Key requirements

Requirement	Details
Pool ID	Every farm must link to a liquidity pool. Same Pool ID can have multiple farms.
Liquidity	Add sufficient initial liquidity before creating a farm. Low liquidity = high price volatility = impermanent loss for LPs.
Rewards	Cannot be withdrawn once allocated. Plan carefully.

Calculating rewards and APR

APR depends on rewards, token price, and pool liquidity. Consider:

1. Target TVL — How much liquidity do you want? Compare with similar pools.

2. Reward token price — Price fluctuations directly affect APR. Estimate a range for the farming period.

3. APR formula:

$$APR = \frac{Daily Rewards Value}{Pool Liquidity} \times 365$$

Example: $500/day rewards ÷ $100,000 liquidity × 365 = 183% APR

Changes to liquidity or reward token price will affect APR throughout the farming period.

Creating a farm

1. Connect wallet and select pool

1. Navigate to Liquidity page → Click "Create" → Select "Creating a Farm"

2. Search for your target pool or paste the Pool ID directly

1. Verify the Pool ID and pool TVL before proceeding

If no pool exists for your pair, create one first.

2. Set rewards and duration

Parameter	Requirements
Reward tokens	1–5 tokens per farm
Duration	7–90 days
Start time	Cannot be changed after creation

Important:

• Rewards are final once allocated—they cannot be withdrawn

• Rewards only emit when LP tokens are staked. Consider staking a small amount yourself so APR displays correctly at launch.

• New farms appear on the UI ~5 minutes after creation with an "Upcoming" tag

3. Review and confirm

1. Click "Review Farm"

2. Verify rewards, duration, and start time

3. Click "Create Farm"

Your farm will be live in ~5 minutes. View it under "Show Created" on the Ecosystem Farms tab.

Extending or adjusting rewards

Manage existing farms from Portfolio → "My created farms" → "Edit Farm"

Action	When	Details
Extend rewards	72 hours before period ends	Adds rewards at the same emission rate, extends duration
Change emission rate	After current period ends	Start a new period with adjusted rewards
Add reward token	Any time	Up to 5 tokens total, each can have different periods

Rewards cannot be withdrawn once allocated.

Summary

• Rewards are final and cannot be withdrawn

• Start time cannot be changed after creation

• Stake some LP tokens yourself to ensure APR displays at launch

• Extend rewards starting 72 hours before the period ends
