Point Farming
What is YT Points Farming Strategy?
Points farming lets you earn protocol rewards 100x faster using much less capital than depositing directly in projects.
How Points Farming Works
The Basic Concept
When you buy YT (Yield Tokens), you purchase the rights to points that other users generate. These users have already locked large amounts of capital in protocols and sell their point earnings through FIVA's market.
Efficiency Example
Traditional way: To earn 1,000 protocol points per day, you need to lock 1,000 USDT directly in the protocol.
FIVA way: Buy YT tokens for just 10 USDT and earn the same 1,000 points per day. You're only paying for the yield and points portion, not the principal amount that generates them.
Result: Same point earnings with 100x less capital.
What You Get When You Buy YT
1. Protocol Points
Earn points as if you locked the full capital amount
100x faster accumulation without actually locking money
View progress in FIVA dashboard or protocol apps
Points convert to tokens when the protocol decides (not controlled by FIVA)
2. Underlying Yield
Earn the base protocol yield (like 5% from Ethena or 4% from Tonstakers)
Calculation: Your YT amount × protocol APR
Example: 1,000 YT from Ethena × 5% = $50 per year
Claim anytime through FIVA dashboard
How to Execute
Step-by-Step
Research: Find protocols with valuable point programs
Buy carefully: Only invest amounts you can afford to lose completely
Monitor: Track your point accumulation and yield in the dashboard
Plan exit: Decide whether to sell before expiration or hold for maximum points
Risk Management
Never invest more than you can lose entirely
Understand exactly when your YT tokens expire
Remember that point values are uncertain until protocols announce conversions
Important Limitations
Time Expiration
YT tokens have an end date. After this date:
They stop earning points and yield completely
They become worth $0
Think of it like a gym membership that expires
Limited Supply Creates High Costs
Why prices can spike: Only a small portion of the total locked value is available to buy as YT.
Example: In a $1M pool running for 3 months with 10% annual yield, only $25,000 worth of yield and points is available (2.5% of total). When many people want this limited supply, prices increase rapidly.
Future improvements: FIVA will add more liquidity, better pricing, and limit orders to reduce these costs.
Risk Warning
Points farming is high-risk. You can lose everything you invest.
What Can Go Wrong
Points worth less than expected: You might overpay compared to final point value
High buying/selling costs: Limited supply creates price spikes
Protocol changes: Projects can delay or change how points convert to rewards
Value decreases over time: YT tokens lose value as they approach expiration
Bottom Line
Points farming through YT tokens offers incredible efficiency - potentially earning 100x more points with much less capital. This works because you're buying yield rights from other users instead of locking capital yourself.
However, this efficiency comes with serious risks. YT tokens can become completely worthless, and you have no guarantee that points will be valuable. Only use money you can afford to lose.
