# Aquarius AMM Rewards

#### **Aquarius AMM Rewards**

AMM rewards are **earned by depositing liquidity** into **Aquarius AMM pools**. The size of the rewards depends on:

* **The number of upvotes** a market receives.
* **The amount of liquidity provided** to the pool (more liquidity = higher rewards).

#### **Understanding Markets vs. Pools**

📌 **A Market** – A trading pair that **AQUA and ICE holders vote for**, such as **XLM/AQUA**.\
📌 **A Pool** – A specific **Aquarius AMM liquidity pool** for that market.

A market can have **multiple related AMM pools** as well as a **corresponding pair on SDEX** (the Stellar decentralized order book exchange). **Total liquidity provider (LP) rewards** for a market are **shared across its related pools and the SDEX** based on the **total liquidity provided**.

#### **How AMM Rewards Are Distributed**

💰 Rewards for liquidity providers are **paid in AQUA tokens**. To receive AQUA rewards, **you must add a trustline** to AQUA in your wallet.

#### **Claiming Rewards**

⏳ **Rewards accrue every block** but must be **manually claimed**. This can be done in:

* **The "My Liquidity" tab** (under the **Pools list**).
* **The "My Aquarius" tab** (same functionality).
