# 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 GRAM** (**hGRAM)** **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 **Protocol Share**: Next, the protocol’s share is calculated and withdrawn.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 hGRAM holders according to their stake.

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