FIVA offers 4 main ways to optimize your returns:

### 1. Get Fixed Returns

**What**: Earn guaranteed returns on your TON, USDT, or USDe\
**How**: Buy PT tokens to lock in fixed rates\
**Example**: Lock in 12% APR for 6 months, regardless of market changes\
**Best for**: Users wanting predictable income

### 2. Farm Points Faster

**What**: Get 100x more efficient at farming protocol points\
**How**: Buy YT tokens instead of locking full capital\
**Example**: Farm 1,000 EVAA points/day with 10 USDT instead of 1,000 USDT\
**Best for**: Point farmers wanting maximum efficiency

### 3. Trade Yield

**What**: Arbitrage and trade the yield based on your market expectations\
**How**: Buy YT (long yield) or PT (short yield)\
**Example**: Sell YT if you think that markets not priced in yield properly for given maturity\
**Best for**: Advanced traders with good understanding of Yield Tokenization

### 4. Provide Liquidity

**What**: Earn from multiple income streams with no impermanent loss\
**How**: Add liquidity to FIVA pools

**Two options**:

* **Yield on Principal tokens (TON, USDT)**: 3 income streams (underlying yield + fees + FIVA rewards)
* **Yield on Idle yield-bearing assets (tsTON, tsUSDe)**: 2 additional streams (fees + FIVA rewards)
