# Earn

### **Where Does the Yield Come From?**

The f(x) Protocol provides multiple opportunities to earn yields through **Earn Pools** and **FX Auto-Compound** mechanisms. These tools leverage BaseTokens, Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs), and FXN emissions to generate returns.

### Earn Pools

Stable holders can stake their fTokens into Earn Pools (also known as Stability Pools) to earn yields generated by BaseTokens, plus FXN emissions. Each Earn Pool is tailored to the specific characteristics of its collateral.

**fxUSD Earn Pools**

* **Collateral:** wstETH and frxETH.
* **Yield:** Earn wstETH and frxETH rewards.
* **Details:**
  * fxUSD Earn Pools are segregated by reserve LSD, allowing for variations in yield and leverage across stability pools.
  * Pools reflect the different risks, base yields, and reserve backing of their respective LSDs.

**btcUSD Earn Pools**

* **Collateral:** WBTC.
* **Yield:** Earn WBTC rewards.
* **Details:**
  * Unlike other BaseTokens, WBTC has no built-in yield.
  * xWBTC holders pay competitive funding rates for leveraged price exposure.
  * btcUSD holders share these funding rates without additional costs, with xWBTC’s funding rate tracking the crvUSD borrowing rate against WBTC.

**rUSD Earn Pools**

* **Collateral:** eETH and ezETH (ETH Liquid Restaking Tokens).
* **Yield:** Earn restaking rewards, including points, without ETH price exposure.
* **Details:**
  * 100% of reserve points flow to the rUSD Stability Pool, along with 50% of LST yields.
  * This makes the rUSD Stability Pool’s point accrual rate significantly higher than directly holding the LST.

**cvxUSD Earn Pools**

* **Collateral:** CVX.
* **Yield:** Earn staking rewards from Convex Finance.
* **Details:**
  * Users can stake cvxUSD in Earn Pools to earn CVX staking yields while maintaining the stablecoin’s dollar peg.

**fETH Earn Pools**

* **Collateral:** stETH.
* **Yield:** Earn native LSD rewards from stETH, plus FXN emissions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://fxprotocol.gitbook.io/fx-docs/more/f-x-protocol-1.0/earn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
