The **Institutions program** is suited for liquidity providers that deposit in size, i.e. >$500k, into Idle's strategies. Any depositors that embed their wallet address can earn up to a <mark style="color:blue;">**50% profit share**</mark> from the contributed TVL.

### Program details

Best Yield vaults and Yield Tranches are deployed on the Ethereum and the Polygon chain. The program is then available on both chains.&#x20;

The [Treasury League](https://docs.idle.finance/governance/idle-dao/idle-leagues/treasury-league) periodically executes reward transfers, which an automated on-chain fee-sharing mechanism will then replace.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Tiers" %}
These tiers of fee sharing apply to all the active Integrators partner programs.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Ethereum" %}
The Ethereum program distributes the rewards on a monthly basis through a [vesting contract](https://legacy.idle.finance/#/tools/b2b-vesting-contract) available under the [Tool section of the legacy app](https://legacy.idle.finance/#/tools/b2b-vesting-contract). Tokens are vested on a linear basis over a 3-month period.&#x20;

The minimum threshold to distribute the rewards is 500 IDLE.

* Product: Best Yield vaults and Yield Tranches
* Rewards: IDLE
* Frequency: monthly
* Distribution: [vesting contract](https://legacy.idle.finance/#/tools/b2b-vesting-contract) with a 3-month length

Integrators can use the following Dune dashboards to track the program's rewards.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Polygon" %}
The Polygon *zkEVM* program distributes rewards on a weekly basis to the partner's wallet address.

The minimum threshold to distribute the rewards is 100 MATIC.

* Product: Yield Tranches
* Rewards: MATIC
* Frequency: weekly
* Distribution: direct transfer to partner's wallet

Integrators can use the following Dune dashboards to track the program's rewards.

<summary>FAQs</summary>

* **How do I earn fees?**\
  Include your wallet address as part of the deposit transaction data. More information regarding the input parameters of the deposit method can be found in the BY and YTs methods sections in the [Developers](https://docs.idle.finance/developers) chapter.
* **When do you share fees?**\
  Leagues process the IDLE distribution towards the vesting contracts on a monthly basis on Ethereum. The MATIC distribution on Polygon is done on a weekly basis.
* **Should I claim the tokens?**\
  The Ethereum fees should be claimed in the [vesting contract](https://legacy.idle.finance/#/tools/b2b-vesting-contract). The Polygon fees instead are sent to the referral address attached to deposits, no need to claim it.
* **Do I lose the rewards if I do not reach the minimum threshold?**\
  Accrued fees that do not reach the minimum threshold are recorded in Dune's dashboards. Once rewards reach the distribution threshold, the fee-sharing payments are executed.
* **How is the fee sharing calculated?**\
  Let's see a practical example\
  For the first 30 days, the Partner's TVL deposited is $90m, enabling him to receive a 25% fee-share. Ten days after the first sharing event, its TVL is worth $200m and holds the same value for the remaining 20 days of the second month. The time-weighted TVL for this 30-day timeframe would be worth $163M, letting him access Tier 5, i.e. 30% fee-share.&#x20;
