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, and * the amount of liquidity you provide to the pool relative to others. > **Note:** AMM rewards go to liquidity providers of the Aquarius AMM — see [how to create pools](/user-guides/pools/creating-a-pool.md) and [deposit liquidity](/user-guides/pools/deposit-and-withdraw-liquidity.md). ### Markets vs. pools * A **market** is a trading pair that AQUA and ICE holders vote for, such as XLM/AQUA. * A **pool** is a specific Aquarius AMM liquidity pool for that market. A market can have multiple related AMM pools as well as a corresponding pair on the Stellar DEX (SDEX). Total liquidity provider rewards for a market are shared across its related pools and the SDEX based on the total liquidity provided in each.

### Distribution and claiming Rewards are paid in AQUA, so your wallet needs an **AQUA trustline** to receive them. Rewards accrue every block but must be claimed manually — either in the **My Liquidity** tab under the pools list, or in **My Aquarius**. ### Additional resources * [Active market pairs for rewards](https://aqua.network/rewards) * The [voting guide](/user-guides/how-to-vote-for-markets-on-aquarius.md) for directing rewards to specific markets
