# What is farming? Farming or "liquidity farming" involves sending other cryptocurrencies such as USDT, Ethereum or Bitcoin to a smart contract. As long as these cryptocurrencies are in the smart contract, you receive 7oceans coins back as a reward. As the name suggests, liquidity farming serves the purpose of providing liquidity for trading with 7oceans coins. The cryptocurrencies provided via the smart contracts facilitate the exchange of 7oceans coins and support the exchange rate. Liquidity farming for 7oceans coins will be launched at the same time as the ICO. Approximately 2 weeks before the ICO, the respective liquidity pools will be opened. With the ICO, the 7oceans coin pre-sale ends and from then on you can only farm the 7oceans coins. --- # 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.
