Today, we are excited to launch the **farm boost**, in collaboration with the Pandora team. Farm boosts incorporate Pandora’s ERC-404 gacha mechanism into traditional DeFi yield farming. With rare farm boosts, users can boost their **$AEVO airdrop** by **1x-100x** over the next **two weeks**.

### **How it Works**

Every perpetual future or options trade on Aevo has an adjusted **boosted volume**. Your **total** boosted volume across trades will be used to calculate your pro-rata share of the $AEVO airdrop, rather than actual volume generated on the platform:

_Boosted Volume = Trade Order Value \* (Base Farm Boost + Lucky Farm Boost)_

**Base Farm Boost**: On every trade, no matter what, a user will earn a **1x — 4x** farm boost which is calculated based on your **previous 7-day** trading volume (the base boost is **capped** at 4x past $5M volume.). The more you trade, the quicker your base boost accelerates for future trades. Conversely, your base farm boost will decay if you stop trading as it's based on a trailing 7 day window.

Base Farm Boost (as a function of 7d notional volume)

**Lucky Farm Boost: Just for the next two weeks** at any given point one of your trades may hit a lucky farm boost from 10x-100x with the following rarities:

10x Farm Boost: ~10% chance

50x Farm Boost: ~2.5% chance

100x Farm Boost: ~1% chance

You can pull a higher farming boost the more you **trade**. More trades → higher chance of getting a 100x farm boost **stacked on top** of your base boost. On any given trade, there is a **~13.5%** chance of hitting a rare farm boost from 10x — 100x.

### **Examples**

ctrlfreak has $1.5M in notional volume traded in the past 7 days, which translates roughly to a ~2x base boost. ctrlfreak longs 10 ETH perpetuals contracts (order value = 10 \* $2500 = $25,000) and gets lucky and hits a 10x farm boost.

ctrlfreak’s boosted volume on the trade is **$300,000** ($25,000 \* (2x base boost + 10x rare boost)) even though his _actual_ order value is $25,000. This will increase his $AEVO distribution 12x on that particular trade.

Alice has $3M in notional volume traded in the past 7 days, which translates roughly to a ~3.5x base boost. Alice shorts 2 BTC options contracts (order value = 2 \* $50,000 = $100,000) and gets lucky and hits a 50x farm boost.

Alice’s boosted volume on the trade is **$5,350,000** ($100,000 \* (3.5x base boost + 50x rarity boost)) even though her _actual_ order value is $100,000. This will increase her $AEVO distribution 53x on that particular trade.

**The lucky farm boost will turn off after two weeks. Lock in your advantage by hitting rare boosts.**

**FAQ**

**Does the farm boost increase my actual position size of the trade as well?**

No, it does not increase your position size. The farm boost is ONLY used to calculate your boosted volume for $AEVO rewards.

**Do existing users who made trades before this still get $AEVO?**

Yes, all users of Aevo who have done volume on AEVO since the very beginning will get a retroactive drop. This is just an opportunity to significantly increase your allocation on top of that.

**How do I know whether I got the lucky farm boost on a trade?**

Immediately after your trade, if you got a lucky farm boost (10x, 50x, or 100x) you will receive a toast/notification. You can also see the farm boost (base + luck) applied to every trade in [https://app.aevo.xyz/portfolio/trade-history](https://app.aevo.xyz/portfolio/trade-history)
