You can go to the Pool & Farm page by clicking here and see all the incentivized pools offered in UniverseSwap along with their current APRs. By default you'll only see UNID related Pools & Farms. To see the other UniverseSwap Tokens (e.g. **Filecoin** etc.) you need to switch the network first.

Go to the analytics page, enter your wallet address and click on "**Load Account Details**". This will show you how much tokens you'd get if you were to withdraw your liquidity at this specific moment.
