# Rewards

beUSD tokens can be locked in the rewards module to receive non-transferable beUSD++ tokens, granting users the option to choose between guaranteed yield with Bento Savings Rate or speculative yield with [Bento Rewards Rate](../../bento-rewards-rate).

Bento’s rewards model is designed to outperform the Bento Savings Rate i.e. native yield of the underlying assets. It incentivizes early entrants and ensures a sustainable flywheel effect.

> **Uncapped rewards**\
> If the Bento Rewards Rate is higher than the boosted Bento Savings Rate, users can claim the tokens.

> **Guaranteed yield**\
> Otherwise, users claim the BSR yield, boosted by the circulating supply of beUSD that is not locked/staked and by exposure to high-yield, long-duration strategies that efficiently match asset-liability durations – like a fractional reserve system.

> **Governance voting power**\
> beUSD++ holders also gain governance voting power, allowing them to participate in key protocol decisions related to the introduction of new collateral assets, strategies, protocols, strategy managers etc.

> **Junior risk tranche**\
> beUSD++ functions as the junior tranche in Bento Protocol, offering insurance coverage to beUSD/beUSD+ against underlying assets loss or protocol failure, while earning a higher yield in return.

Rewards product is suitable for users seeking enhanced real yields on stablecoins or speculative yields in the form of token rewards.
