# Rewards

### Introduction

All rewards are auto-compounded within the vault.

#### Reward Sources

* **Base Staking Rewards:** Ethereum staking rewards via LSTs, such as RocketPool's rETH
* **DeFi Optimizations:** Rewards from lending, or looping strategies.
* **Partner Incentives:** Extra APR campaigns, often locked, such as 90-day pre-deposit campaigns

#### Reward Mechanics

* **Auto-Compounding:** Rewards reinvest automatically.
* **Conversion into rETH:** Regardless of source, rewards crystallize into rETH at withdrawal.

### How Rewards Are Displayed

Each strategy shows:

* **Allocation (%):** Portion of vault capital deployed in that strategy.
* **Strategy APR:** Gross APR of that strategy before fees or batching.
* **Ongoing APR:** Rewards already realized and compounding into vault NAV.
* **Pending APR:** Rewards accruing but not yet crystallized, such as campaign incentives.
* **Total APR:** Sum of ongoing + pending APR for that strategy.

The **Total Expected APR** at the top aggregates across all strategies.

#### Realized vs Pending Rewards

* **Ongoing Rewards:** Already distributed and compounding (shown under **Ongoing APR**). These remain even if you withdraw immediately.
* **Pending Rewards:** Accruing but not yet vested (shown under **Pending APR**). Withdrawing before vesting forfeits these.

*Example:* If you withdraw during a 90-day incentive campaign on day 89, your **pending APR** is lost.

### Fees

* **Service Fee (AUM):** 1% annually, applied to TVL.
* **Rewards Fee (Performance):** 10% of realized rewards.
* **Governance:** Any change requires a 30-day timelock and contract upgrade.

### Troubleshooting & Notes

* If your APR looks lower than the headline: check whether part of it is still under **Pending APR**.
* APR values update periodically (see **last updated** timestamp in top-right).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rocksolid.network/for-depositors/rewards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
