# Program Details

Cove's liquidity mining program is divided into seasons, each with specific
goals and reward structures. 8% of the token supply is planned to be distributed
during the first year of liquidity mining. Epochs will have different objectives
and emissions.

## Season 2 (Cove + coveUSD)

We're currently on Season 2 of liquidity mining which is for the main [Cove
Protocol](/ecosystem/protocol/cove-protocol) and currently only distributed to
[coveUSD](/ecosystem/protocol/coveusd).
