While providing liquidity to Curve pools and lending to Llamalend markets already earns you trading fees and CRV rewards (if available), there's a powerful way to **maximize your CRV earnings**: by **boosting** them. Boosting allows you to **increase the amount of CRV you earn by up to 2.5x**.

Find your LP positions and claimable rewards in **Your Positions** on the [Pools page](https://www.curve.finance/dex/ethereum/pools/). Open an Ethereum pool and select **Liquidity Details** to see your **veCRV Boost**. Use the boost calculator below to estimate your potential boost.

## What is Boosting?

Boosting is a mechanism tied to [**veCRV**](https://docs.curve.finance/user/vecrv/what-is-vecrv.md) (vote-escrowed CRV). To get veCRV, you **lock your CRV tokens** for a set period, ranging from one week to four years. The longer you lock your CRV, the more veCRV you receive.

Think of veCRV as your long-term commitment to the Curve ecosystem. In return for this commitment, the protocol rewards you with increased CRV emissions on your supplied liquidity. Essentially, with enough veCRV, you can earn up to **2.5 times** the CRV rewards you would normally receive from your LP tokens!

**Why Boost?**

Boosting is a key incentive for long-term participation in the Curve ecosystem. It allows active liquidity providers to significantly increase their CRV farming efficiency, making their contributions even more profitable.
