When you stake tokens, rewards depend on three main factors: the type of pool, the lock period, and whether the pool is still active. This article explains how these factors affect reward generation.
1. Compound Pools
- Rewards are generated during the lock period.
- After the lock ends, rewards may continue if the pool remains active.
- Once the pool expires, no more rewards are issued. At this point, users can withdraw their stake and any accumulated rewards.
2. Dynamic Pools
- Rewards are earned throughout the lock period.
- After the lock ends, rewards may continue if the pool has not expired.
- When the pool expires, reward generation stops. Withdrawals are allowed if the user’s lock period is complete.
3. Liquidity Pools
- Rewards are issued only during the lock period.
- After the lock ends, no further rewards are generated, regardless of the pool’s status.
- Tokens can be withdrawn once the lock period is over.
Important Note
Reward behavior depends on the pool’s design. Users should always review the specific rules of each staking pool before participating.
