ADV<\/strong> has been in operation since epoch 208<\/strong> and has the largest lifetime ADA rewards, then ADV2<\/strong> (epoch 237<\/strong>), ADV3<\/strong> (epoch 251<\/strong>), and ADV4<\/strong> (epoch 511<\/strong>) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since starting operation our stake pools have generated rewards of more than <\/span> million<\/strong> ADA for our delegators, with our Annual Percentage Yield averaging <\/span><\/strong>% across all pools. Careful attention to operations and technical design means our rewards are among the very highest available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/sup>APY<\/strong> (Annual Percentage Yield) is calculated by annually compounding average lifetime return per epoch:
lifetime return = (lifetime rewards – lifetime fees) \/ lifetime stake<\/strong>
Compounding assumes all epoch rewards are staked (73 epochs * 5 days = 365 days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reward lifecycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The staking and rewards process is divided into 5<\/strong> day epochs, with a snapshot to capture status at the end of each epoch. It takes 4<\/strong> epochs from choosing a pool and delegating your ADA, to receiving your first rewards at the beginning of the 5<\/strong>th<\/sup> epoch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
A snapshot of the ADA staked is taken at the end of epoch 1 to record wallets and amounts. This stake will be active in epoch 3 and helps determine total leader slots allocated to the pool. Rewards are calculated at the beginning of epoch 4 based on the blocks successfully forged. Finally rewards are delivered to all delegators in epoch 5. This lifecycle repeats every epoch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This means there will be a lead time of 15-20<\/strong> days before rewards start flowing into your wallet (depending when you delegate in the initial epoch). You will continue to receive rewards from the pool for 3<\/strong> epochs after you stop delegating or move to another pool<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How are rewards calculated?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pool rewards are calculated every epoch, adjusted for performance (if a pool makes blocks for all scheduled leader slots it will make 100<\/strong>% of expected rewards), then distributed to the pool operator and delegators. This happens in several steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • First, the fixed and variable fees (\u20b3340<\/strong>, 0<\/strong>%2<\/sup>) are subtracted from the total rewards and transferred to the pool operator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Next, the remaining rewards are split fairly (proportional to delegated stake), amongst all delegators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Please note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Fixed and variable fees are only<\/strong> deducted if the pool forges blocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fees are shared proportionately by all<\/strong> delegators based on their stake. If you have 0.1<\/strong>% of the total stake your fee\/epoch will be:
      0.1<\/strong>% x \u20b3340<\/strong> = \u20b30.34<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • There is a one time deposit of ~\u20b32<\/strong> which is refunded when you stop delegating. The delegation transactions are subject to the minimum network fee of \u20b30.17<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      ADAvault fixed and variable fees are among the lowest <\/strong>available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
