# Gauge Boosts

<mark style="color:red;">**TLDR --**</mark> The larger your veDOS position, proportional to your LP staked and other veDOS holders in that pool, the higher your boost is, up to a max of 2.5x.

LP pools on $DOS have a base of 1.0x boost up to a max of 2.5x, based on certain factors such as your NFT (veDOS) size, and the amount of LP staked in proportion to the total pool. This means that the effective range of APRs is (1->2.5x), or more accurately (0.4x->1x).&#x20;

Staking under a large veDOS NFT allows you to comfortably earn un-diluted yield from the DoSui pools, whereas you would be earning the low end of APRs otherwise.

Boost Formula (ultra-simplified) is as such:

$$
Boost\ = derivedBalanceOf\div balanceOf
$$

A more detailed and comprehensive form of the boost formula can be seen below:&#x20;

$$
EarningWeight \ = min((user\*0.4)+(lp \ total \* user  locked \ \div total \ locked)\ \* 0.6,user)
$$

$$
Boost = EarningWeight \div \ user
$$

**Where:** \
\- ***user*** = LP amount the user has deposited\
*- **lp total*** = Total LP staked\
*- **user locked*** = user's locked $DOS (veDOS)\
*- **total locked*** = total locked $DOS (veDOS)
