# Auto DFI Pool

## Stake DFI, earn DFI!

You've now got two delicious flavors of DFI-DFI Pool to choose from: Auto-compounding, and Manual. Read on to learn more!

### What’s the difference between the “Auto DFI Pool” and the “Manual DFI Pool”? <a href="#docs-internal-guid-c4c16237-7fff-3c33-3a56-18ccd8853f86" id="docs-internal-guid-c4c16237-7fff-3c33-3a56-18ccd8853f86"></a>

**With both pools, you can simply stake your DFI tokens to earn more DFI tokens.**&#x20;

But there are some differences:

**Manual DFI**

* You need to harvest or compound (reinvest) your DFI by yourself. That means returning to the site, tapping buttons, and using a bit of BNB for transaction fees.
* Interest is displayed as APR, which doesn’t include compounding.
* Deposits [E Token](broken://pages/-MJfMib_7p6sbomFc2jY#whats-syrup-token) to your wallet upon staking

**Auto CAKE**

* Stake your DFI and forget about it! The DFI you stake in this Pool will be automatically compounded (reinvested) for you, minus a small fee.
* The “automatic” compounding function is triggered by other users who get a small bounty for triggering it.
* Interest is displayed as APY, which includes compounding.
* A small performance fee is subtracted from your earnings each time the pool is automatically compounded. See below.
* An unstaking fee applies when you unstake within 3 days of manually staking. See below.
* Does not deposit E Token to your wallet upon staking

### What are the fees for the Auto DFI Syrup Pool?

**Deposit fee**

* **None**

**Unstaking fee**&#x20;

* **0.1%
 if you unstake (withdraw) within 72 hours.**
* Only applies within 3 days of manually staking.
* After 3 days, you can unstake with **no fee**.
* The 3-day timer resets every time you manually stake more DFI in the pool.
* This fee only applies to manual unstaking: it does not apply to automatic compounding.

**Performance fee**

* **2%, subtracted automatically from each yield harvest**.
* For example, if the harvest was 1 DFI, then 0.02 DFI would be subtracted as the performance fee.

{% hint style="info" %}
The DFI collected via the unstaking fee and performance fee is **burned every week** as part of the regular DFI token burns.&#x20;

This is a good thing for DFI holders because it reduces the overall amount of CDFI tokens in existence, which helps reduce inflation.
{% endhint %}

### What's the best way to use the Auto DFI Pool? <a href="#docs-internal-guid-3b1f91a6-7fff-fc76-976a-3a06bada2520" id="docs-internal-guid-3b1f91a6-7fff-fc76-976a-3a06bada2520"></a>

Simple: stake your DFI, but only withdraw after 72 hours (if you need to). This way you only pay the performance fee, and not the unstaking fee.

### What’s the Auto DFI bounty?

**Auto DFI Bounty: 0.05% of all Auto DFI pool users’ pending yield**

This bounty is given as a reward for providing a service to other users.

Whenever you successfully claim the bounty, you’re also helping out by activating the Auto DFI Pool’s compounding function for everyone.

Make sure the amount of DFI you receive will be greater than the BNB fees you’ll spend to submit the blockchain transaction!
