# How to boost your $IDLE rewards

Governance > IDLE staking > Guides > How to boost your IDLE rewards

To vote on Gauges and share weight preferences, users should use the [Gauges menu](https://idle.finance/#/dashboard/gauges) in the Idle dashboard. 

### Staking

User can further [boost their IDLE rewards](/other/archive/boost.md) by staking their pool token holdings.

The process is similar to the usual [IDLE staking](/governance/idle-staking/guides/how-to-stake-your-idle.md) mechanism. 

The Gauges dashboard will show you live how your boosting multiplier will change as you increase your staking share in the pool.

In case of multiple rewards pools (as for example currently the Lido - stETH PYT), you can claim separately either the IDLE or the LDO rewards.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that the additional gauge rewards (LDO from MultiRewards) are not affected by boosts like IDLE rewards and are simply distributed proportionally to the user share in the gauge.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.idle.finance/governance/idle-staking/guides/how-to-boost-your-usdidle-rewards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
