# How to Acquire Esteem?

* **Earning Rewards in the Stronghold** – Depositors in **BetterBank’s Stronghold lending pools** receive Esteem as a **reward for supplying liquidity**.
* **Direct Minting** – Users can **mint Esteem at a perpetually increasing** (relative to the USD) **price**, using pDAI, PLS (PULSE), PLSX (PULSEX) or other PulseChain assets yet to come.
* **Buying Favor** – Purchasing **Favor rewards users with an Esteem bonus equal to 44% of the Favor purchase value**. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is no Esteem bonus if  of Favor token has a TWAP 3.0 or above. Example if PDAIF price is 3 times more than PDAI.  In this scenario buying is ill not advisable, the recommendation would be to mint Esteem or deposit in the Stronghold with the asset.
