Nine percent of all Seasonal Tokens mined are donated to the Farms. There are two farms, one in Ethereum network and another in Polygon network, Each farm receive 4.5% of all mined tokens.

  • The 4.5% is then distributed among the four Liquidity Pools, but not in the same proportion. It is arranged in such a way that it complements the Mining supply, see below for more details.
  • Finally, farmers receive rewards in proportion to the percentage of liquidity they have on each farm.

Which Token is the Most Profitable to Farm? (UPDATED JAN 22 2024)

Use the projected return on investment per Matic/ETH as an indicator of which of the farms is the most profitable at the time of the update. The numbers vary with changes in the number of tokens in the liquidity pools, and the Fraction of Farming Rewards given to each pool.

Since the yearly ROI is a percent per Matic/ETH invested, it is not dependant on the price of Matic or Ether


Polygon Farm

Projected Anual Return on Investment of One Matic
Spring Summer Autumn Winter
40.7% 63.9% 22.7% 38%

Ethereum Farm

Projected Anual Return on Investment of One Matic
Spring Summer Autumn Winter
40.7% 63.9% 22.7% 38%


How to create a liquidity position and deposit it into the farm: Farming Tutorial on Reddit


ROI Calculation Explained

In this page we will dive into the details about how profitable it is to farm the tokens.

Farming Rewards Correlate with Mining Supply

The 9% donation to the farm is distributed among the 4 liquidity pools in such a way that complements the changes in mining supply, adding a rotating demand that acts together with the mining supply to produce the oscillations in the relative price of the tokens.

Four months after the mining supply of a token is cut in half, the farming reward for that token is increased, creating a combination of reduced supply and increased demand helping the price oscillations.

Number of Tokens per Reward

Every ten minutes on average a miner finds a solution to the proof of work challenge and receives a reward in tokens. There are 144 rewards per day.

Mining Supply
Month Year Spring Summer Autumn Winter
September 2021 168 140 120 105
June 2022 84 140 120 105
March 2023 84 70 120 105
December 2023 84 70 60 105
September 2024 84 70 60 52.5

Farming Rewards

Nine percent of the tokens mined by the Seasonal Tokens liquidity pool are donated to the farms. Notice that there may be other liquidity pools and solo miners outside the Seasonal Tokens pool. Specially when the token prices make it profitable.

For example, in June 2022 the mining supply of Spring was cut in half, four months later, on October 2022 the farming rewards changed and Spring receives more rewards than the other 3 tokens. In March 2023 the Summer mining supply was cut in half, four months later, on July 2023 the farming rewards changed and Summer receives more rewards than the other 3 tokens. In December 2023 Autumn mining supply is cut in half, and on April 2024 the farming rewards will give Autumn the larger fraction of rewards.

Farming Rewards (Fraction)
Month Year Spring Summer Autumn Winter
Initially 2021 0.19 0.23 0.27 0.31
October 2022 0.32 0.19 0.23 0.26
July 2023 0.27 0.32 0.19 0.22
April 2024 0.23 0.27 0.32 0.18
January 2025 0.19 0.23 0.27 0.31

Profitability of Farming

Number of Tokens donated to the Farm

Each farm receives 4.5% of the mined tokens, therefore the number of tokens donated every day is:

(144 rewards per day)*(Number of tokens per reward)*(4.5/100)

For example, at the time of this writing the number of Spring Tokens per reward is 84, therefore the number of tokens donated per day to each farm is: 544.32 Spring

Token distribution among the four Liquidity Pools

Those 544.32 Spring tokens are distributed among the four liquidity pools in the proportion given by the Farming Rewards (Fraction) table above. At the time of this writing the fraction of tokens distributed to each Liquidity Pool is: (0.27,0.32,0.19,0.22) for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Liquidity Pools respectively.

Therefore the 544.32 Spring tokens will be distributed in this way:

146.97 tokens to the Spring liquidity pool. 174.18 tokens to the Summer liquidity pool. 103.42 tokens to the Autumn liquidity pool. 119.75 tokens to the Winter liquidity pool.

Token distribution among the Liquidity Providers

Finally the last factor in the calculation of the token rewards is the fraction of the tokens each liquidity provider receives. The tokens are distributed according to the fraction of liquidity provided. A person holding 10% of the liquidity will receive 10% of the rewarded tokens.

We can calculate the amount of tokens received per ETH or Matic invested. Let's suppose we are talking about a Spring Liquidity position in the Polygon Farm, then in order to know how many Spring tokens you receive per Matic invested you have to multiply by 1/Total Matic in the Spring Liquidity Pool:

146.97*(1/2597.18)= 0.0566 Spring tokens per Matic invested in the Spring Liquidity pool every day.

One Matic invested in the Spring liquidity pool receives also Summer, Autumn, and Winter. So to calculate the total rewards per matic per day we have to add the other rewards.
