How often are staking rewards distributed?

Staking rewards are distributed continuously in real-time as validators generate rewards for their role in maintaining the TON blockchain. These rewards are automatically added to the value of your Hipo Staked TON (hTON) tokens.

Each validation round lasts approximately 18 hours, with an additional 9 hours allocated for resolving any complaints.

After the complaint resolution period ends, the rewards for the round are distributed as follows:

1. Borrowers’ Share: First, the share for borrowers is paid out. This share is determined at the time of borrowing, with the best borrowers having won the loans.

2. Protocol Share: Next, the protocol’s share is calculated and withdrawn.

3. Remaining Rewards: The remaining rewards are returned to the protocol's treasury and are effectively distributed among all hTON holders according to their stake.

hTON holders do not need to take any action, as the value of their Hipo Staked TON tokens increases automatically, even though the amount of hTON they hold remains constant. This process ensures a fair and transparent reward distribution system on the Hipo platform.
