# Aave SRB

AAVESRB is a benchmark representing the annualized staking rate for the AAVE token.

AAVESRB is calculated and published by Staking Rewards via the [AAVE Profile](https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/aave) and [Data API](https://www.stakingrewards.com/data-api).

> **TL;DR:** Aave staking rewards come from Safety Module emissions, where AAVE tokens are locked to secure the protocol. The reward rate equals daily emissions annualized over 365 days divided by total staked AAVE in the staking contract.

***

#### Observation Period:

1. The AAVESRB is determined based on the latest generated block at the point of evaluation.
2. This data is then annualized for a comprehensive year-long projection.

#### Calculation

The calculation happens every 2 hours and is immediately published via [Data API](https://www.stakingrewards.com/data-api).

### AAVE Real Reward Rate (AAVESRB^R)

The real reward rate calculates the AAVESRB adjusted for inflation in the network.

$$
AAVESRB^R = 1+AAVESRB/(1+i)-1

#### Inflation Rate Behaviour

The inflation is also subject to change with possible governance decisions.
