# Staking Staking provides ALD holders with a dominant strategy that allows ALD holders to keep their share of total supply constant when no incremental bond comes into the system. When ALD holders stake ALD, they will receive 1:1 XALD, and get rebase rewards once per epoch. Rebase rewards is calculated as: $$emission\_{epoch}= SupplyALD\*RewardRate$$ The initial $$RewardRate=0.3%$$ Staking yield is calculated as: $$RewardYield=emission\_{epoch}/stakedALD$$ $$stakedALD$$ is the number of ALD staked As each epoch is 6400 blocks (1 day), staking APY is calculated as: $$APY=(1+RewardYield)^{365}-1$$ Staking income is awarded to those who contribute to the system, with different lock-up periods. xALD enjoys compounding interest. 1. Bonded ALD goes directly into the Staking Pool and will receive xALD with a 5 day linear vesting period. 2. Staked ALD receives xALD after entering Staking Pool with a linear vesting period of 9 days. 3. Airdrop recipients automatically get xALD and enter Staking Pool with a 9 days linear vesting period. xALD can be claimed when it expires and vested xALD can be unstaked to ALD at any time. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
