# Lava SRB

LAVASRB is a benchmark that represents the reward rate of staking the asset.

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

> **TL;DR:** Lava staking rewards follow the Cosmos SDK formula (ATOMSRB): annual provisions plus annualized fees, minus community tax, divided by total staked LAVA tokens. Validator-level rates factor in performance and commission.

$$
LAVASRB = rrr+ srr
$$

#### Restaking & Staking Reward Rate

To calculate the restaking & staking reward rate we fetch the distributed rewards in USD from restaking in the past 30 days and divide by the staked tokens.

### LAVASRB Validators Staking Reward Rate: LAVASRB(v)

Staking Rewards calculates the LAVASRB for each validator based on their individual performance and commission rate.

$$
LAVASRB(v) = LAVASRB \* (1-cr) \* pf
$$

<table><thead><tr><th width="159">Formula key</th><th width="172">Metric name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>cr</td><td>Commission Rate</td><td>The percentage commission rate the validator has set as a delegation fee for all delegators.</td></tr><tr><td>pf</td><td>Performance</td><td>The availability of the validator.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Calculation

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

### Lava Real Reward Rate: LAVASRB^R

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

$$
LAVASRB^R=1 + LAVASRB/(1+ir) -1
$$

<table><thead><tr><th width="140">Formula key</th><th width="144">Metric name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ir</td><td>Inflation Rate</td><td>The annual provisions divided by the circulating supply.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Inflation Rate Behavior**

* LAVA’s inflation rate is designed to incentivize participation in the network. New tokens are issued at a rate called *InflationRate* per round, based on the total circulating supply. These tokens are distributed proportionally to all bonded participants, ensuring active users are protected from dilution.
