# 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. > *Burners become earners, and earners become burners again* --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
