Staking Rewards & Earnings

How staking rewards are calculated, when they are credited, and how to track your earnings.

How Rewards Are Calculated

Your rewards are based on:

  • Principal: The amount you staked
  • APY: The annual percentage yield of your chosen pool
  • Duration: How long your stake has been active

Formula: `Reward = Principal × (APY ÷ 100) × (Days Active ÷ 365)`

Example: 500 XRP staked at 10% APY for 30 days:

`Reward = 500 × 0.10 × (30/365) = 4.11 XRP`

When Rewards Are Credited

Rewards accrue daily and are added to your staking position's accrued balance. They are credited to your main account balance when you:

  • Claim a matured locked position
  • Unstake from a flexible position

You can view accrued (not yet claimed) rewards in the stake details panel.

Tracking Your Earnings

The Staking page shows:

  • Accrued Rewards for each active position
  • Total Earnings across all your positions
  • Projected Earnings at maturity
  • ROI (Return on Investment) percentage

Your portfolio card on the main dashboard also reflects the total current value of all staking positions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rewards paid in XRP or XLM?+
Rewards are paid in the same asset you staked. If you staked XRP, your rewards are in XRP.
Can I compound my staking rewards?+
After claiming, you can immediately re-stake the rewards along with your principal in a new position to compound.
Why is my accrued reward slightly different from the estimate?+
The displayed estimate is rounded for display. Exact reward calculations may differ by fractions due to daily compounding precision.
