How the boost works
On this page
Lista pays extra emissions to addresses holding LISTA, a holder boost, scaled by a 7-day weighted average of the LISTA held. The protocol lends LISTA into your vault so the vault qualifies. The boost is keyed to the LISTA held by the vault, never your wallet, and applies to the vault’s supply and borrow positions on boosted markets, up to a per-tier USD cap.
Two kinds of tier#
Two tier tables meet here, and it helps to keep them apart:
| Listapie tier (on-chain) | Lista holder tier (Lista) | |
|---|---|---|
| Decides | How much LISTA the treasury lends your vault | How much boost your positions earn |
| Based on | vlLTP in your wallet | Your vault’s 7-day average LISTA |
| Tier 1 | 0 vlLTP → 10,000 LISTA lent | ≥ 10,000 LISTA → $500 supply / $500 borrow cap |
| Tier 2 | 20,000 vlLTP → 50,000 LISTA lent | ≥ 50,000 LISTA → $1,000 supply / $1,000 borrow cap |
The first decides the second: a vault lent 10,000 LISTA reaches Lista’s Tier 1 once its 7-day average gets there. Cap values come from Lista and can change; the Dashboard’s Holder Boost Tiers card always shows the live table.
Rewards and the fee#
- Lending Rewards: the base emission any position earns. No protocol fee.
- Holder Boost: the extra emission the lent LISTA unlocks. A 25% protocol fee is taken at claim; you receive 75%.
- Borrowed (fully inside the $500 cap)
- $500
- Holder-boost emission APR (illustrative)
- 21%
- Gross boost, 1 year
- $500 × 21% = $105.00
- Protocol fee 25%
- − $26.25
- You receive
- $78.75 in LISTA
