# LP/Staking

:man\_artist: +:art: =:man\_farmer:  Who knew painters could be farmers?!

Primary liquidity for $BRUSH-$S is hosted on [Shadow](https://shadow.so/) and [Equalizer](https://equalizer.exchange/) exchanges on Sonic. 

## Shadow's x(3,3) model for LP  <a href="#id-321d" id="id-321d"></a>

In the SHADOW model, liquidity providers stake their $BRUSH-$S LP tokens  in a SHADOW gauge to earn a portion of the swap fees along with emissions in the form of SHADOW tokens.&#x20;

The more votes allocated to a liquidity pair by xSHADOW voters, the more SHADOW that will be emitted to the $BRUSH-$S gauge in the following epoch.&#x20;

## Equalizer's ve(3,3) model for LP <a href="#id-321d" id="id-321d"></a>

Brush liquidity is also hosted on Equalizer ve(3,3) dex. The $BRUSH/$WS LP receives $EQUAL emissions based on veEqual votes received by the pool every week.

### **Rewards for** $BRUSH-$S **LP providers** <a href="#id-321d" id="id-321d"></a>

Paintswap community’s liquidity has traditionally been the highest(!) of any Fantom ecosystem token in a 50–50 pool. This continues on Sonic. Following are the ways $BRUSH LP holders are rewarded:

* **Superior APR**: As the result of our partnership with Shadow, the protocol offers direct incentives to $BRUSH-$S liquidity providers through their voting weight. We also utilize our protocol fees to offer bribes where needed to boost this even further hence maintaining **sustained higher APR**.
* **Sonic Airdrop points for BRUSH liquidity**: Sonic labs has confirmed that $BRUSH/$S LP holders will receive Sonic points (user points) for the $S portion of the LP! For all the details read their post [Sonic Points and Gems Explained — \~200 Million S Airdrop](https://blog.soniclabs.com/sonic-points-and-gems-explained-200-million-s-airdrop/).
* **Using FeeM for Bribes**: Paintswap has been either 1st or 2nd in the rankings for every quarterly [fee monetization leaderboard](https://earngas.fantom.network/) in past years. This additional revenue is used for bribing votes on pools to incentivize liquidity for the $BRUSH-$S pair on Shadow exchange.

### Alternative to Single Side Staking <a href="#dc32" id="dc32"></a>

Our 80–20 $BRUSH-$scUSD pool on [beets.fi](https://beets.fi/pools/sonic/v2/0xc5ab8d98f959453e416b2f15848a02cc99bc695e000200000000000000000022) replaces the traditional single side staking for $BRUSH.  The 80-20 balanced pool incentivizes lower impermanent loss LP strategies. Hence making it close to the single-sided staking. The rewards include:

* LP trading fees.&#x20;
* BEETs emissions from bribing voters.&#x20;
* Potential $S & $BRUSH rewards from our DAO&#x20;
