# Getting Passive Income in Biswap Launchpools
**Biswap Launchpools** is a less resource-intensive alternative to mining. It lets users use their tokens to earn more tokens for free. In simple terms, you lock your cryptocurrency to receive rewards.
There are two types of Biswap Launchpools where you can get passive income:
* **Stake BSW Launchpools** - allows users to stake (hold) BSW tokens to earn other top tokens for free.
* **Stake Tokens Launchpools** - allows users to earn BSW by staking (holding) other tokens on the platform.
## Stake BSW Launchpools: Auto & Manual Compounding
**Stake BSW Launchpools** is a kind of Launchpools on Biswap where users can **Stake BSW (Hold BSW)** to **Earn** top tokens **for free** as a reward.
[**Stake BSW Launchpools**](https://biswap.org/pools/stake_bsw) can be divided in the following way:
✔️ **Auto-compounding** - users’ earned tokens will be **compounded automatically** **every** **5** **minutes,** without any additional actions from their side.
✔️ **Manual-compounding** - users need to **Harvest** and/or **Compound** earned tokens by themselves.
✔️ **Holder Pool** - launchpool on biswap.org created to prioritize Biswap users in Biswap offers and for a new way of passive income via **long-term investment**.
## What Is Auto Compounding?
**The Auto-compounding function** is available only for **BSW Launchpool** in Stake BSW Launchpools.
When you start auto-compounding, your earnings are compounded **automatically every 5 minutes,** and your profit is shown as **APY**.
**APY (Annual Percentage Yield) on Biswap** — is **the annual percentage of return earned from staking,** taking into account the automatic increase of the invested sum, but APR — does not in its turn. So, the more frequent compounding earns, the higher your BSW profit because of its regular increase of the initially invested sum of BSW tokens for staking.\
\
**For Example:**\
You approved **1 000 BSW** in BSW Launchpool for **Auto-compounding** under **600% APY.**
That means that **at the time of calculation,** your income **for the 1 year** can be calculated:
1,000 (the invested sum) x 600 (APR in percentage) / 100 (also can be counted as 1 000 x 600% )= **6 000 BSW — your 1-year income** if you won’t make any unstakes during this year.
Remember that you **cannot accurately calculate your daily income** because of permanent automatic changes and increases in your investment sum.
**That means that your 1-year total sum potentially can be:**
1 000 BSW (if you unstake your deposit sum) + 6 000 BSW (your income — the sum of APY) = 7 000 BSW

{% endhint %}
## How to Use Auto Compounding on Biswap?
1. Open the [**Stake BSW Launchpools**](https://biswap.org/pools/stake_bsw) tab.
2. Press **Approve BSW** and **Sign** the **Signature Request** notification from your crypto wallet extension (if you don't have a crypto wallet - [read on how to create & connect](https://docs.biswap.org/education-hub/connecting-your-wallet-to-biswap) one)
3\. Click on **Plus (+)**.
4\. **Enter the amount** of BSW tokens that you would like to stake and **Confirm** your decision.
5\. Congratulations! 🎉 You’ve staked your first BSW, now you can regulate the staking amount by pressing on **Plus (+)** or **Minus (-)** buttons.
## What Is the Commission for BSW Auto Compounding?
✔️ **No fee in BNB for Auto-compounding,** unlike the commission fee of **0.001 BNB**, which the Manual-compounding charges.
✔️ **Pay a Performance Fee** of **1.99 % in BSW** from your auto-compounded BSW earnings. Subtracted **automatically** and will be sent to a particular wallet to be **burned** once a week by Biswap.
✔️ **Unstaking Fee** is a fee of **0.1%** that is charged if you withdraw (**Harvest**) your funds earlier than **74 hours have passed.**
After 74 hours, you can withdraw your incomings with **no unstaking fee**. The unstaking fee timer resets back to 74 hours every time you add more BSW for staking.
## How To Transfer BSW Funds from Manual Compounding Pool?
If you want to transfer **all your BSW funds** or only **part of them** from the existing **Manual-compounding BSW Launchpool** to **Auto-compounding Launchpool** — you need to **Harvest** them from the Manual-compounding Launchpool and add them to **Auto-compounding BSW Launchpool.** So, you may have several active Launchpools at the same time! ✨
## What Is Manual Compounding?
**Manual compounding** means that you need to press **Harvest** or **Compound** manually every time you want to do one of these actions with the BSW tokens you’ve earned. Your potential earnings will be shown as **APR.**
**APR (Annual Percentage Rate) on Biswap** — represents the annual percentage income for staking tokens. So, the sum that can be potentially earned from APR will grow only after the Manual Compound because of the increased staking token balance.
**For example,** You approved **1 000 BSW** in BSW Launchpool under **190% APR.** That means that **at the time of calculation,** your income **for 1 year** can be calculated as follows:
1 000 BSW (the invested sum) x 190 % (APR) / 100 = **1 900 BSW — your 1-year income.**
To calculate the **daily income,** you need the following:
1. 190 % (APR) / 365 (days of the year) = **0.52% (your daily income in percentage)**
2. 1 000 BSW (the invested sum) x 0.52 your daily income in percentage) / 100 (also can be counted as 1 000 x 0.52 %) = **5.2 BSW — your daily income in BSW**
That means that your 1-year total sum potentially can be:
1 000 BSW (if you unstake your deposit sum) + 1 900 BSW (your income — the sum of APR) = 2 900 BSW

7\. **Confirm** your transaction.
## Stake Tokens Launchpools - Hold Top Tokens Profitably!
**Stake Tokens Launchpools** are a kind of Launchpools that allows **Stake (Hold)** other tokens to **Earn BSW** as a reward for holding in Launchpools.
The sum of max stake in [Stake Tokens Launchpools](https://biswap.org/pools/stake_tokens) on Biswap is shown **according to the relevant tokens’ prices**, so Biswappers may withdraw their staked tokens without any troubles that could be caused by the price change.\
\
**Example:**\
*A user has staked $500 of specific tokens in **Stake Tokens Launchpool with a max stake of $500,** and during the staking period, the token price increased to **$1000**. Even though the max stake for **Stake Tokens Launchpool** is $500, the user can withdraw his/her tokens according to the relevant price so that it will be **$1000 plus his BSW passive earnings.***
**The mechanic of staking in Stake Tokens Launchpools is the same as in Stake BSW Launchpools.**
1. Open the [**Stake Tokens Launchpools**](https://biswap.org/pools/stake_tokens) tab.
2. Press **Approve Token** and **Sign** the **Signature Request** notification from your crypto wallet extension (if you don't have a crypto wallet - read on how to create & connect it [here](https://docs.biswap.org/education-hub/configuring-metamask))

## H**ow does BSW Holder Pool work?**
**BSW Holder Pool** works the same way as Auto-Compound BSW Launchpool, where you stake BSW — earn BSW for the long-term perspective. It will be the only key to using the potential of Biswap proposals in the future.
**Commission for early withdrawal:** There is a commission of **25%** from your withdrawal sum active for **90** **days + 2 hours** for withdrawal from the Pool after any Stake action. On the **91st** **day**, the commission is **0%** for withdrawal from the Pool.
Besides, there is a commission burn to expand the empowering of BSW tokens via burning.
{% hint style="info" %}
***Commission burn:***
*A commission of 25% from each early withdrawal will go to the BSW burn.* *A performance Fee of 1.99% from each harvest will go to the BSW burn.*
{% endhint %}
## Why Do The APR & APY Percentages Change?
**The APR & APY percentages** are dynamic and depend on the number of funds locked in the certain Biswap Launchpool.
When Biswappers stake their funds in Launchpools — the APR & APY percentages will lower. **It depends on the overall sum staked in them**, which means that the APR & APY percentages will change in case of high demand on the certain Launchpool.
## Why Are There The Same Launchpools With Different Max Staking Sums?
This is a unique feature of the Biswap platform that was done to **reduce the speed of APR drop** and **keep the APR high.**
The different amount of the max staking sum was primarily created for the Biswappers’ convenience because the **APR in Launchpools** is regulated as follows:
{% hint style="info" %}
*Increased user demand for a particular Launchpool lowers the APR. But due to the separation of Launchpools with different max staking sums, the users' flow is separated, which lowers the reduction rate of the APR.*
{% endhint %}
The Biswap team performed deep analysis and found out that the best Launchpool ratio is **10 BSW, 500 BSW, and unlimited BSW for Earn BSW Launchpools.**
## **Why Launchpools Become Inactive?**
That happens when the pool duration ends and Launchpool transfers into the Inactive section. You may control the time left for a certain Launchpool by clicking on the Details.
You may control the time left for a certain Launchpool by clicking on the **Details****.**
