  • ALGOSRB takes into account all accumulated rewards for the last Governance Period

  • ALGOSRB operates on a non-compounded basis, meaning it excludes returns generated from the reinvestment of rewards.

Governance Period

  • A Governance Period in Algorand is a specific time frame during which registered governors can participate in voting sessions to influence the platform's direction and policies. During this time governors vote on various topics and be eligible for rewards from a designated ALGO pool.

  • The rewards can be claimed at the end of the 90d Governance Period

Observation Period:

  1. The ALGOSRB is determined based on the current reward cycle 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 Staking Data API.

Limitations

  1. At the beginning of each governance period, all staked tokens will be reset to 0, resulting in a high APR during the initial cycle.
