# Utility

### What is GAMMA's utility?

* Earn more when lending assets
* Pay less when borrowing assets
* Earn more providing liquidity

### What is Boost APY?

Boost APY is a new utility for GAMMA that can be unlocked by staking GAMMA in the Infinity Vault. 

All pools and lending markets now have a new variable called **Boost Percentage**. This determines what % of the GAMMA allocated to this pool or market can be earned by depositors with no GAMMA vs. depositors with different amounts of GAMMA staked.

**Simply put, stake more GAMMA to earn more, faster.**

### **Example:**

Let’s say that the **BNB-BUSD** market is incentivized with **1,000 GAMMA/day** (from the farm) and the Boost Percentage is set at **50%**.

This means that 500 GAMMA is up for grabs based on your % of the total assets in the pool. This also means that the other 500 GAMMA is now up for grabs depending on your LP balance + your GAMMA staked in the infinity vault.
