CAUTION
On October 29, 2022, the GIVfarm was exploited on ETH Mainnet, all funds in the Mainnet farming contracts were drained and stolen. The Giveth Community voted subsequently to not restart any of the affected farms. Currently most GIV liqudity farming programs have ended since, with the exception of GIVpower Staking 🚀, there are no plans to launch any new GIVfarm programs in the future. However there are still opportunities to earn liquidity rewards through the RegenFarm program.
This documentation article will remain for historical reference.
The GIVfarm launched on December 24, 2021. 3.5% of the total token supply, 35 Million GIV, has been allocated to the first GIVfarm round of 6 months, 65 million tokens are held in a multisig for future liquidity provision. Farms are available on either Ethereum Mainnet (ETH) or Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network). Any farms you stake tokens into will yield GIV rewards and add to your GIVstream flowrate only for that corresponding chain. GIV reward distribution for the 6 pools available is as follows:
Pool | Tokens Allocated |
80GIV/20ETH Balancer on Mainnet | 2.5 Million GIV |
GIV Staking on Mainnet | 2.5 Million GIV |
GIV/HNY Honeyswap on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) | 10 Million GIV |
GIV/WETH Sushiswap on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) | 2.5 Million GIV |
GIVgardens Staking on Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai Network) | 7.5 Million GIV |
NOTE
10 Million GIV was originally allocated as rewards for a GIV/ETH Uniswap V3 pool on Mainnet. However, we detected one actor that was abusing a vulnerability in the system to earn rewards disproportionately and then dump the GIV. The community voted to terminate the Univ3 rewards program (snapshot), and they were shut off on March 21st, 2022. You can learn more about it here.
The amount claimable from rewards on the day of launch will be 10% with the other 90% allocated to flow out from the GIVstream. The GIVstream will flow for 5 years, and as time passes, the greater the amount immediately claimable from rewards will be. As you earn rewards in the GIVfarm, you also increase the flow rate of your GIVstream.

Note that, as a result of the termination of the Univ3 rewards program in week 13 there is approximately 5M GIV, previously earmarked for these rewards, that are no longer part of the GIVfarm allocation.
Further rounds may be launched after this period that could contain new pools and changes in distribution. All rewards from GIVfarm will be affected by the GIVstream. Read up on the GIVstream documentation for more information.
