# 1.7. Compounding

Users have the option to turn part of their unclaimed rewards into shares. This increases their shares participation and thus generate more rewards in the future. An incentive in the form of a 15% shares bonus is given when users use this function. For each unclaimed CDP turned into shares, the user gets 1.15 shares. For each CDP compounded, the referrer gets 0.05 shares and 0.1 is sent to the daily auction pool. When no referrer is set, 0.15 shares per CDP burnt are sent to the auction pool. For each CDP compounded, the system generates a total of 1.3 shares, which is equal to the number of shares generated for normal participation. This ensures that calculations in various functions remain intact.

## 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.carpediempension.com/whitepaper/1.-concept/1.7.-compounding.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.
