# Quicksilver SRB

QCKSRB is a benchmark representing the mean, annualized staking rate across all active Quicksilver validators.

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

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

{% hint style="info" %}
The calculations are derived from the ATOMSRB documentation, serving as the foundational reference to ensure the accuracy of relevant metrics.

For more information visit the [ATOMSRB docs](https://docs.stakingrewards.com/staking-data/methodologies/cosmos-hub-srb).

### QCK Staking Rewards Rate: QCKSRB

$$
QCKSRB =(dp∗ap)/st

<table><thead><tr><th width="145">Formula Key</th><th width="169">Metric Name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>dp</td><td>Distribution Proportion</td><td>Distribution Proportion is the staking emissions percentage, currently set to 80%.</td></tr><tr><td>ap</td><td>Annual Provisions</td><td>The total amount of tokens emitted per year.</td></tr><tr><td>st</td><td>Staked Tokens</td><td>The total number of tokens bonded with active, non-jailed validators.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### QCK Validator Staking Rewards Rate: QCKSRB(v)

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

$$
QCKSRB(v) = ATOMSRB(v)

### QCK Real Reward Rate: QCKSRB^R

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

$$
QCKSRB^R = ATOMSRB^R

**Inflation Rate Behavior**

* Quicksilver's inflation is community-governed, allowing votes on total inflation and emission allocation. In the first year, inflation is set at 25%, decreasing by 25% annually, with a maximum supply of 400M QCK before inflation reaches zero.

<table><thead><tr><th width="188">Metric</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Delegated Tokens</td><td>The number of tokens delegated to validators.</td></tr><tr><td>Self Staked Tokens</td><td>The number of tokens staked by validators directly.</td></tr><tr><td>Staking Wallets</td><td>This metric refers to the total quantity of distinct delegations made. It doesn't distinguish based on unique delegator addresses and excludes considerations of any minimum delegation thresholds.</td></tr></tbody></table>
