# Earning with Meridian

## Overview

Meridian provides a number of ways in which investors can earn rewards and then compound these earnings over time.  Borrow fees and trading fees from the protocol are shared through the [MST staking pool](broken://pages/lW8NnnFG1Yt8zwNwsRlg), the [MLP liquidity pool](/earning-with-meridian/mlp-liquidity-pool.md) and the [MST Multiplier Pool](broken://pages/si4pWTXKPOQ6jprVtGHy).  Fees are provided as rewards for supporting the protocol and are distributed in the form of ETH and USDM. 

To benefit from these rewards users will need either the  [Meridian Stability Token (MST)](/resources/faqs.md#what-is-mst)  or the Meridian Liquidity token (MLP).  MLP is automatically staked in exchange for providing liquidity to the trading platform whereas MST is a tradable ERC20 token that is provided as a reward for supporting either the [Meridian Stability Pool](/usdm-meridian-mint/stability-pool-and-liquidations.md) or the[ Meridian Liquidity Pool](/trading-meridian-trade/meridian-trade/mlp.md).

The table below highlights how users can receive rewards from Meridian:

*All rewards are based on preprogrammed functionality of the protocol and do not represent any sort of claim towards protocol developers or any third party.*
