# 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.

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 %}

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
