# LP Utility {% hint style="info" %} **To trigger** BUL **emissions on both deposits and borrows, you must lock at least 5% of your deposit's USD value in LP tokens.** {% endhint %} **Example 1** : If you deposit $1M USDC but have zero LP tokens locked, you will earn the basic APY but won't qualify for additional BUL emissions. **Example 2 :** Deposit $1,000 USDC and lock $50 in LP tokens. Now you're eligible for BUL emissions, thanks to hitting that 5% threshold. The requirement to lock liquidity tokens in LP form serves the Belugas Protocol money market in multiple ways: 1. Long-Term Participation : Locking LP tokens effectively commits users to a set period, increasing the likelihood that they'll maintain their deposited collateral. 2. BUL Emissions Activation : This commitment enables BUL emissions, rewarding those who are invested in the protocol's long-term vision. 3. Attracting New Users : The above dynamics make the Belugas Protocol money market mode appealing to potential liquidity providers, thereby stimulating both growth and development. This strategic cycle not only sustains long-term liquidity but also catalyzes new inflows, making it a win-win for both individual users and the protocol at large. --- # 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.
