# Compound

An effective way to optimize your profits, avoid inflation, and maintain long-term TVL.

1. **What happens if I always claim rewards?**

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you claim your rewards continuously, your daily percentage will significantly decrease, and you will not receive the highest daily returns. This is the anti-whale mechanism that prevents a whale from depleting the TVL.
{% endhint %}

2. **Is it better to compound my returns more often, 2 or 3 times a day?**

{% hint style="success" %}
The compound allows you to reinvest and increase your future rewards. So, essentially, yes. You will need to pay the standard TON network gas fees for each Compound.\
The compound action will increase the mining speed of miners. Thereby increasing your accumulated profits
{% endhint %}

3. **My Reward Growth**

{% hint style="success" %}
Profit-taking habits impact future rewards. If you claim too many rewards, your daily percentage decreases. Daily increases in TVL can lead to a decrease in the daily percentage.
{% endhint %}

4. **Can I get my initial back?**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ton Miner is a locked rewards pool, so no. You get your initial back over time through the My Rewards section of the Dapp.
{% endhint %}

5. **What are the fees?**

{% hint style="info" %}
There is a 5% development fee charged on ALL deposits and profit withdrawals from Ton Miner. Standard TON network gas fees are required for EVERY transaction, whether it's deposits, withdrawals, or compounding with the "Compound" function.
{% endhint %}

6. **Does the Diamond amount decrease when you claim your rewards?**

{% hint style="info" %}
No, the "Diamond" amount will not change. If you make a new deposit or add "Diamond" using the "Compound" button, the amount will increase, but not when you claim rewards.
{% endhint %}

7. **Is this sustainable?**

{% hint style="success" %}
Yes, as long as there is TVL (Total Value Locked) in the contract, rewards will always be available. Hungry individuals who claim too many rewards are penalized and receive diminishing rewards over time.
{% endhint %}

8. **What is the best strategy?** 

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend the tried and tested method as it is written in the contract. "Compound" for 6 days and claim your rewards 1 day per week. This will compound your investment, and you will recover your initial investment in 2-3 weeks.
{% endhint %}

9. **The 6/1 Strategy explained?** 

{% hint style="success" %}
This is about claiming your rewards every 6 days. During these 6 days, you can "Compound" as many times as you like. This simply allows for faster compounding.
{% endhint %}

10. **Is it too late to invest?** 

{% hint style="info" %}
No, the contract is written to provide an optimal entry for any users, new or old. This is the reason the Diamond per TON. Amount changes frequently with TVL fluctuation to provide an even playing field for any new user and not giving the first user/s a headstart.
{% endhint %}

11. **Can contract functions be added?** 

{% hint style="info" %}
No, the contract is immutable and cannot be altered. The contract operates perfectly as it is. No wallet can be blacklisted, no one can be compelled to "Compound" for 6 days and claim their rewards 1 day per week.
