# KAT Market Incentives 

## What Are KAT Market Incentives?

KAT Market Incentives reward users with **KAT tokens** for trading on eligible markets.

Some markets offer **standard KAT rewards**, while selected markets display a **boost multiplier** that increases the reward rate. Both standard and boosted markets distribute rewards from a limited KAT pool.

KAT incentives are designed to:

* Encourage liquidity on targeted markets
* Accelerate price discovery
* Reward early and active participation

## Eligible Markets

Markets may fall into one of two categories:

### Standard KAT Markets

* Earn KAT rewards at the base rate.
* No multiplier is applied.
* Rewards continue until the market's KAT pool is fully distributed.

### Boosted KAT Markets

* Display a visible **boost multiplier** on the market card or market page.
* The boost increases the effective reward rate.
* Each boosted market has its own reward cap and availability window.

Not all markets may offer KAT incentives at all times.

## Base Reward Rate

Eligible trading activity earns KAT rewards at a base rate of:

> **0.025 KAT per \$1 held per day**

This base rate applies to standard markets and is multiplied when a boost is active.

Rewards accumulate while the incentive pool remains available.

<Info>
  Positions must be held receive KAT tokens, once sold it will no longer be calculated.
</Info>

## Boost Multipliers

Boosted markets may display multipliers such as:

* **2×**
* **3×**
* **5×**
* **10×**
* **25×**
* **50×**

When a boost is active:

* Your KAT rewards are multiplied by the displayed boost.
* The boost applies on top of the base reward rate.
* Each boost may have its own distribution cap.

Boost availability may change over time.

## Reward Limits and Caps

Each market distributes rewards from a finite KAT pool.

* Once a market's KAT pool is fully allocated, no additional KAT rewards will be earned on that market.
* Trading remains available even after the reward pool is exhausted.
* Boosted markets may also have additional boost-specific caps.

These limits ensure controlled and fair reward distribution.
