Consumer boosting is tightly integrated with our [network inflation reward system](../introduction/reward-distribution.md#network-inflation-rewards), in fact, Consumer boosting is the key aspect that controls what project deployments that the network inflation is allocated to.

## How does it work
## How To Boost an Project

Consumer Boosting is similar to delegating, where Consumers (individuals or teams that would like to access and query data from Node Operators on the network), boost a specific data indexer project or RPC endpoint (i.e. project deployment) by locking tokens against it.

The difference between boosting and delegating, is that in return, boosters receive free request units over the time and they attract more Node Operators to a project by allowing them to receive a higher cut of rewards from [network inflation](../introduction/reward-distribution.md#network-inflation-rewards).

To boost a project, find the project in the [SubQuery Network explorer](https://app.subquery.network/explorer/home), and click "Boost Project". You can see below that I'm boosting a new project that I've made, and that does not yet have any Node Operators and only a tiny amount of boost on it already.

You can now add or remove existing boost from this project, since this is the first time I am boosting this project, I can only add Boost.

Note there is a minimum boost amount that must be boosted against a project deployment in order for the project deployment to start receiving booster rewards, and in turn, for Consumers to receive boost rewards. You can see the current value in [network parameters](../parameters.md).

## How are boosters rewarded

Once you confirm the relevant transactions via your wallet, and wait for a few seconds for transactions to process, you will see an updated boost amount on the Project details screen. You can also view an estimate of the query rewards that you might receive from boosting this project. Node Operators can also see that there is an estimated `377.30 SQT per era` of boost rewards per Era on this project and might be attracted to index it as a result.

## Manage Existing Boost

You can easily view all existing projects that you have boosed under the Consumer > My Boosted Projects menu. Here you can view total query rewards, as well as add or remove boost from each project.

## How are Boosters rewarded

In the SubQuery Network, the majority of network inflation ([see exact amount here](../parameters.md)) is distributed to each project deployment based on the proportion of boosted tokens each project deployment is allocated over the time.
