# Fee Structure

YieldShield charges a fee on the safe, higher yield it provides to farmers and liquidity providers. However, the fee can be reduced or even zero.

There are 3 different ways to claim rewards from your investments and different fee structure. 

**Claim rewards in YIELD LP Tokens - 0% fee** 

Earn all yield in YIELD LP tokens and pay zero fees. The yield smart contract will automatically convert harvest assets into LP tokens and stake them for you. 

{% hint style="info" %}
YIELD LP tokens will be locked for 7 days on YieldShield. You will be able to claim the LP tokens once they are unlocked.
{% endhint %}

**Claim rewards in YIELD Tokens - 5% fee**

The yield smart contract will automatically convert harvest assets into YIELD tokens. 

**Claim rewards in Native Tokens - 10% fee**
