# Technical details

**Onchain Farming:** Alcor Farming operates entirely on-chain, leveraging a reward calculation algorithm without relying on any backend services. This ensures transparency and security throughout the farming process.

**Claiming Rewards:** Users have the flexibility to claim accumulated rewards at any time. Additionally, they can easily finish or resume their participation in farming as per their preferences.

**Farm Parameters:** Each farm is characterized by two main parameters:

1. **Reward Amount:** Calculated proportionally to the liquidity value in the position, offering fair compensation for your contribution.
2. **Duration:** Specifies the timeframe during which users can participate in farming and earn rewards.

**Key Tables in swap.alcor Contract:** Understanding the backend, there are three essential tables within the swap.alcor contract related to farming:

1. **Incentives:** Contains details about reward incentives.
2. **Stakingpos:** Maps positions to corresponding arrays of incentives, illustrating the staked positions.
3. **Stakes:** Scoped by incentive ID, this table holds the state of farming positions.

**Whitelisting Tokens:** To enhance the farming experience, Alcor maintains a whitelist containing available tokens that users can earn as rewards.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.alcor.exchange/alcor-farms-unlocking-defi-opportunities/technical-details.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
