Farms

PancakeSwap Infinity farming is a simple, gas-efficient way for users to earn liquidity rewards without needing to stake their LP tokens. Once liquidity is added to an eligible pool, rewards begin accruing automatically.

⚙️ How It Works

Section titled “⚙️ How It Works”

Here’s a quick breakdown of how the system tracks and distributes rewards:

✅ No Staking Required

  • Just hold your LP position in your wallet.
  • No need to lock your assets or interact with additional smart contracts.
  • You start earning rewards automatically when you add liquidity.

📈 Rewards Distribution

Section titled “📈 Rewards Distribution”
  • Only in-range positions (those providing active liquidity) receive rewards.
  • Rewards are proportional to the fees earned by your position during each period, called an epoch.

⏳ What’s an Epoch?

Section titled “⏳ What’s an Epoch?”
  • An epoch is a fixed time window — currently set to 8 hours.
  • Rewards are calculated and distributed after each epoch.
  • Epochs are currently scheduled at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC.

🔄 Farming & Claim Process

Section titled “🔄 Farming & Claim Process”
  1. Tracking Positions: The backend system monitors your LP positions across all farms.
  2. Reward Calculation: At the end of every epoch,
    1. The system calculates your rewards based on your liquidity and the fees generated.
    2. It processes the rewards into a Merkle tree and submits a Merkle root to a smart contract.
  3. Dispute Period:
    1. After the Merkle root is published, the 1-hour dispute period begins.
    2. During the dispute period:
      1. The newly calculated rewards cannot be claimed.
      2. Rewards from previous epochs remain available to claim.
      3. Automated and community-operated verification tools check the accuracy of the published data. If discrepancies are detected, a dispute may be raised to prevent incorrect distributions.
  4. Claiming Rewards:
    1. Once the dispute period ends, you can claim your rewards for the latest epoch.
    2. All pending rewards across all farms can be claimed in a single, gas-efficient transaction.
  5. Unclaimed Rewards Roll Over:
    1. Any unclaimed rewards roll over to subsequent epochs. Each update incorporates previous rewards, ensuring no earnings are lost or expired.
