# Rewards & Incentives

Friendly Market gives users the ability to earn **triple rewards** when supplying assets into cross-chain markets. These rewards combine:

1. **Compound Rewards** → earned directly from Compound V3 when supplying or borrowing.
2. **REI Rewards** → FriendlyMarket’s ecosystem token incentives.
3. **NIBI Rewards** → native rewards from the Nibiru chain.

#### Why it matters

* By combining rewards across protocols and chains, you earn **significantly higher yields** than using Compound or Nibiru alone.
* Rewards incentivize both lending and borrowing, increasing liquidity and adoption.
* You don’t need to manually claim rewards across different chains — everything is streamlined in FriendlyMarket.

### How to Earn Rewards

1. **Supply to a Cross-Chain Market**
   * Deposit assets (e.g., USDC, ETH) into Compound on Ethereum or Base via FriendlyMarket.
   * Earn base Compound rewards + REI + NIBI.
2. **Borrow from a Cross-Chain Market**
   * Borrow assets from Compound pools.
   * Borrowers are also eligible for rewards (depending on the market).
3. **Native Comet Markets**
   * Supplying NIBI or other native assets into Comet pools earns **NIBI + REI rewards**, but no Compound rewards since it’s local to Nibiru.

***

### Rewards Distribution

* **Compound Rewards** → accrued in the Compound protocol and synced to your position.
* **REI + NIBI Rewards** → distributed directly by FriendlyMarket.
* Rewards are shown in your **dashboard/My Position** and can be claimed periodically.

***

### Key Notes for Users

* Cross-chain = **Triple Rewards (Compound + REI + NIBI)**.
* Native = **Double Rewards (REI + NIBI)**.
* Rewards boost both **supply APY** and **borrow APY**, making borrowing potentially **net positive** in some markets.
* Claiming rewards may require a transaction on Nibiru (gas fees apply).

***

## ✅ Key Takeaway 

* **Cross-chain markets give you the best yields** by combining Compound, REI, and NIBI rewards.
* **Native Comet pools still reward you with REI + NIBI**, but without Compound’s incentives.
* Rewards are automatically accrued — you just need to claim them when you’re ready.
