2. Understanding key components of a transaction
3. Setting up filters for precise targeting
4. Best practices for creating effective Boost actions

## Action vs. Reward

Before we dive in, it's important to understand the distinction between actions and rewards in the Boost ecosystem:

* **Action**: The on-chain behavior you want to incentivize (e.g., "Swap at least 100 USDC for ETH on Uniswap V3")
* **Reward**: What users receive for completing the action (e.g., "5 PROJECT\_TOKEN for each qualifying swap")

This guide focuses on defining actions. Reward setup is a separate process that comes after action definition.

Let's begin by learning how to navigate Etherscan to find the information you need.
