You’ve been supplying liquidity and yield farming on SpookySwap for a while, generating some nice earnings and now you’re thinking it is time to enjoy your yields for some real-world products. Now what?
Let’s have a look at the scenario that you’ve have earned some spLP tokens (Spooky Liquidity Provider tokens) as proof of contribution to the liquidity and staked them at farms and earned BOO at SpookySwap and now thinking what you can do with your BOO. What if you need that cool headphones you’ve been thinking to buy for a while and looking for ways to do it with your earnings.
With this guide, we will explain how to use your earnings from SpookySwap (Fantom Opera’s premier DEX and DeFi hub) and spend them for real world goods and services at CryptoRefills. We will use BOO as our use case. But remember this also applies to earnings from other DEXes on Fantom Opera such as Curve, SpiritSwap or Beethoven X and many others.

Use Case
Let’s have a look at the likely scenario with Bob. Bob provides liquidity on SpookySwap for ETH-BOO pair on the Swap Pool. He collects his swap fees (spLP tokens) and stakes them on the Farm and earns some BOO.

Bob now can spend his earnings at Cryptorefills on Fantom Opera Network – after converting his BOO into stable coins such as USDT or USDC – in exchange for gift cards for hundreds of top retailers or brands.
Let’s see how it works exactly.
