## Yield Farming

Yield Farming enables **Real Estate Token (RET)** holders to earn rewards by pairing up their **RET** with Stablecoins (eg. USDC) and locking them into our smart contract. By doing so, users provide liquidity for the **RET** . Liquidity providing aids in facilitating the 24/7 Automated Market Maker for secondary trading of **RET** and USDC.&#x20;

> One way to think of Yield Farming is that Liquidity Providers act just like Currency Changers in the real world. For example, a Currency Changer who holds USD and EUROs will charge a fee for exchanging USD to EURO, vice versa. Liquidity Providers act in the same way except in this case, they hold crypto assets.

Liquidity Providers earn trading fees from the secondary exchange whenever swaps from **RET** to USDC, vice versa, are made. The trading fees are set at 0.3% per trade. On top of earning trading fees, Liquidity Providers are rewarded with **KNIGHT** tokens. **KNIGHT** rewards are distributed over time to Liquidity Providers.

## Vesting

**KNIGHT** rewards earned by Liquidity Providers will have a vesting period of 8 weeks. After the 8-week vesting period, the rewards can be claimed and transferred to the Liquidity Provider's wallet.
