# ParaBoost

Parallel Boost (ParaBoost) is a concept that distributes fees to PRL stakers who generate the most positive externalities that benefit the protocol.

This new concept aligns the short and long-term interests of both the protocol, by encouraging more use of it; PRL holders, by encouraging them to stake their tokens and interact with it; and ordinary users, encouraged to buy and stake PRL tokens to obtain additional benefits.

The ParaBoost will be computed offchain by a keeper (Cooper Labs) at the end of an epoch and a merkle root is sent to the rewardDistributor contract.

:::info
Due to time constraints (to get V3 out faster) we decided to simplify Paraboost as much as possible for tokenomics v2.0. Tokenomics v2.1 (PIP-68, May 2026) kept the same ParaBoost rules. As ParaBoost is calculated entirely offchain, a more complete version would need no smart contract update and no new audit.

### sPRL

The weight of sPRL2 relatively to sPRL1 in the ParaBoost calculation is multiplied byu x2.5. The calculation is based on the dollar value of sPRL1 & sPRL2.
