# ICE boosts - how to maximize LP rewards

**Holders of ICE tokens are eligible for boosts to their AQUA rewards when providing liquidity to Aquarius pools.** The maximum boost is x2.5 and is determined by a user’s ICE balance and their share in a pool.

### How Boosts are Calculated

The size of an ICE boost depends on two key values:

1. **User's share of the total ICE supply** – 52 billion as of March 31, 2025.
2. **User's share in a given pool** – This is based on the pool's LP token supply.

**Example:**

* **User’s ICE balance:** 5.2 million, which is 0.01% of the total ICE supply.
* **User’s share in the pool:** 0.01%, as measured by the pool’s LP token supply.

In this case, the user will receive the maximum x2.5 boost to their AQUA rewards. So, if the pool’s reward APY is 10%, the user will receive a boosted 25% rewards APY.

In other words, to maximize the boost, a user’s pool share must be **1:1** with their ICE balance share in the total supply of the token. If the pool share is larger, the boost will decrease accordingly.

ICE boost constantly changes as other liquidity providers deposit and withdraw. We recommend to periodically claim rewards which will trigger refreshing of the boost.

### ICE Boost in Aquarius User Interface

The minimum and maximum ICE boost values are displayed in the list of pools.

When depositing, users will see if their boost changes. For example, in the case below, the boost changes from 1.0 to 1.13.

Boosted Rewards APY will be highlighted with a purple outline, and the multiplier (boost) values will be shown in blue chips.
