How are Staking Rewards and Pool APY calculated?

Created by John, Modified on Tue, 3 Mar at 9:59 AM by John

APY Formula Explanation:

APY = (Annual Rewards / Total Fan Staked) × 10

Annual Rewards = System Annual Rewards × Node Win Probability × (1 - Node Cut) × Pool Share × (1 - Creator Cut)

As you can see from the formula, the APY value will change as Fans change their staking over time and as the Annual Rewards changes.

For more detail on how Staking works, please see this section of the Revolution Network Whitepaper.

You can also view a detailed and real-time calculation of the current APY for any Pool. Just click on the "View APY Details" link on that Pool's Details page. For example:

In the above example, clicking "View APY details" will open a live APY Debug page for the "Revo Network Alliance" Pool.
