# Yield Bearing

While staked positions under the form of kpNFTs has a wide range of use, one of their main initial purposes will be to replace classic yield farming mechanisms by receiving KIM incentives.

### Yield-bearing NFTs <a href="#yield-bearing-nfts" id="yield-bearing-nfts"></a>

From a user standpoint, the mechanics have a lot of similarities with DeFi regular farms.

However, instead of allocating rewards to those regular farms, the KIM's Master contract distributes incentives to all the staking positions of team-defined selected wrapped LPs.

In other words, it's not because a user owns a staking position that she'll necessary receive KIM yield incentives: it will only be the case for those selected assets.
{% endhint %}

Once a staked position's LP belongs to those listed pairs, **the kpNFT starts** **generating yield with rewards from the Master**, as if its owners were actually staking into a regular farm.

### Rewards <a href="#rewards" id="rewards"></a>

KIM incentives are under the form of dual-rewards: the eligible wrapped KIM LPs will have their matching staked positions receive both KIM and xKIM.

The share of both rewards in the total varies depending on the asset, with a default set to 80% xKIM / 20% KIM.

### Yield Multipliers

There are two ways to boost returns from yield-generating staked positions: through locks, or through the [YieldBooster plugin](/protocol/xkim-plugins/yield-booster.md).

Both values will vary depending on the staked asset, from 0% to 150% (x1 to x2.5), but will usually be set to their default 100% (x2).

The sum of those two multipliers is used to determine the total multiplier of the position. Every pool will have its own maximum boost, with a 200% (x3) default cap and an absolute cap of 250% (x3.5).
