I am invested in two pools on CUB finance. The DEC/BUSD pool because I am a Splinterlands player, and had some spare DEC, so I thought may as well earn some rewards on it. I also invest in the CUB/BNB pool because of the insanely high yields (which I know wont last forever)

CUB finance has a feature on the home screen where you can harvest all pools, so that got me wondering is it cheaper to harvest all at once or is it the same as harvesting one at a time.

Testing the Gas costs

I tried a little experiment of harvesting one at a time and then both and comparing the gas cost, the results are below: CUB/BNB - Gas limit recommended by metamask - 161173 CUB/BNB - Gas limit recommended by metamask - 161173 BOTH - Gas limit recommended by metamask - 161173

It seems as though harvesting two pools doesn't add anything to the gas cost from metamask gas limits. However thanks to @shawnlauzon who commented below, once the transactions execute they actually execute separately, each with its own gas costs. So there isn't much benefit to harvesting all at once, apart from that you will have all your CUB combined up, for perhaps one easy transaction after harvest. Please thank @shawnlauzon in the comments below for his contribution to the discussion.

Other thoughts and Kingdoms

If you are planning on investing more into the pools, when you add liquidity to the farm, this automatically harvests too, making it more efficient to harvest at this time.

What I am really looking forward to is kingdoms, and I might not have interpreted this this right, but I think that these will be auto-compounding vaults, where you don't have to worry about timing of harvesting and gas costs. Can't wait to see kingdoms being launched.
