# Impact Farming and Staking

## Impact Farming: Donate cUSD and earn $PACT as a reward

**Impact farming** is an incentive mechanism set up to reward contributors for their support on a regular basis. It allows anyone to claim $PACT tokens as **rewards** for their cUSD contributions to back UBI in vulnerable communities.&#x20;

New $PACT tokens will be available every epoch (24h) and can be claimed 15 epochs after each contribution. The **rewards calculation** and allocation will happen based on how much $cUSD each contributor has donated vs the total raised on 30epochs.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Impact farming is only available when donating to the DAO or to a specific community using cUSD (sending directly to the smart contract address isn’t considered for rewards).
