ADASRB is a benchmark representing the mean, annualized staking rate across all active Cardano validators.
ADASRB is calculated and published by Staking Rewards via the Cardano Profile and Staking Data API.

Cardano does not have a slashing mechanism.
Staking Rewards calculates the ADASRB for each validator based on their individual performance, commission rate, and luck factor.
The ADASRB is determined based on the latest generated block at the point of evaluation.
This data is then annualized for a comprehensive year-long projection.
The calculation happens every 2 hours and is immediately published via Staking Data API.
SOLSRB employs a 365-day convention for annualizing current slot times. This convention remains consistent and does not accommodate adjustments for leap years.
The real reward rate calculates the ADASRB adjusted for inflation in the network.
