#### Step 2: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Enter Incentive Reward Token CA

Input the **Reward Token Address.** this is the contract address of the token you wish to use as the reward for the incentive pool.

When you're ready, proceed to the next step.

**Note on Incentive Reward Tokens:**\
Only **ERC-20 tokens** are supported for distribution as rewards in incentive pools.

#### Step 3: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Enter Pair / Fee Tier to Receive Incentive

Search for one of the tokens in the pair you wish to create an incentive for. Make sure to select both the **correct token pair** and the **desired fee tier** for the incentive.

Once the desired **pairing and fee tier** have been selected, proceed to the Start/End Time input step.

⚠️ **Important:** Once the incentive has been created, the selected pair and fee tier **cannot be changed.**

#### Step 4: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Enter Start / End Time of Incentive Pool

To set the **start and end time** of the incentive, click the corresponding input fields and enter the desired **date and time** for both.\
This will determine the **lifetime** of your incentive.

Incentive pools **cannot be created more than 7 days in advance** of their start time. The **start time must be within 7 days** from the moment the incentive is created.

The incentive pool lifetime can range from **1 week to 1 year**.\
\
**Note on Incentive Start / End Times:**\
The selected time range defines the **duration over which the total reward deposit will be distributed**. For example, if **10,000 tokens** are deposited into an incentive running for **10 days**, the pool will distribute **1,000 tokens per day**, proportionally divided among all **active positions** **staked** in that incentive.

⚠️ **Important:** Once the incentive has been created, the start / end time **cannot be changed.**

#### Step 5: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Enter Token Quantity Allocation to Incentive

In the **Reward Amount** section, enter the **total number of tokens** (from the specified reward token contract) that you wish to distribute over the timeframe of the incentive.

⚠️ **Important:** Once the incentive has been created, the reward amount **cannot be changed.**

#### Step 6: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Refundee Address (Optional)

At the end of the incentive’s lifetime, **any unclaimed or unallocated tokens** may be returned to the designated **refundee address**.\
This includes tokens not distributed due to:

* No LPs staking in the pool
* Positions being out of range
* Rewards not being claimed

A **"Refund"** button will become available once the incentive has ended, allowing the refundee to reclaim these remaining tokens.

⚠️ **Important:** Once the incentive has been created, the refundee address **cannot be changed.**

#### Step 7: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Review Incentive Details

Double-check and confirm all incentive details before proceeding. When you're ready, click the **"Create"** button at the bottom of the popup to initiate the transaction and create your incentive.

⚠️ **Important:** Once the incentive has been created it **cannot be changed.**

#### Step 8: (Creating an LP Staking Incentive) Confirm Transaction

If prompted, review and approve the **spending cap** in your wallet to allow the transaction. Once approved, confirm the transaction request to complete the process.
