# Yield Boosting

You can earn additional WOM from the Boosted Pool by locking WOM tokens. The Boosted Pool was created to incentivize token purchases, encourage long-term investing, and develop a strong TVL linked to lock boosting.

Locking any amount of WOM applies a boost to ALL stablecoin pools, but the APR varies based on your position, WOM emission, WOM price, and the actions of other users. veWOM’s attributes are as follows:

* Users can lock WOM for a period between **7 days and 4 years** to mint veWOM based on the following formula (t=# of days) 

$$
veWOM=LockedWOM*0.02616*t^{1/2}
$$

* Users can have multiple locking positions (up to 10,000) with different locking periods and WOM amounts
* Maximum veWOM held with a deposit equals 1x WOM staked for the deposit
* After the expiration of a position, users can redeem WOM anytime. However, once redeemed, the respective veWOM is burned. i.e., your veWOM balance will continue to boost your rewards **after lock expiration** unless you redeem the underlying WOM
* veWOM is not transferable or tradable
