# Rewards and staking

> How holders and stakers receive their share.

## What it is

Part of every trade fee goes to the holders of that token, and part goes to Pari stakers. Both are paid in SOL. A token paired with a stock pays its holders in that stock.

Holders claim their rewards. Stakers withdraw theirs on the Stake page. There is no emission.

## When it applies

* **Holders:** from the first fees of a token, for its whole life.
* **Stakers:** while your \$PARI is staked. Staking is live from day one.

Rewards depend on trading. A reward is not a fixed amount and not a return.

## Step by step

### Holders

**1. Fees reach the token's vault**

The operator's bot collects the fees and sends each share. Every split is public on [Verify](https://pariprotocol.xyz/verify).

**2. A new reward shows as waiting**

It waits for a short delay, so a wrong publication can be stopped.

**3. It becomes ready to claim**

Claim it on your [Portfolio](https://pariprotocol.xyz/portfolio), on [Rewards](https://pariprotocol.xyz/rewards) or on the token's page. Claim all takes every token at once.

### Stakers

**1. Stake \$PARI**

See [Stake and unstake](https://docs.pariprotocol.xyz/guides/stake-and-unstake.md).

**2. Your share is released over time**

What reaches the stake is released over 7 days by default.

**3. Withdraw it**

You withdraw it on the [Stake](https://pariprotocol.xyz/stake) page.

## Numbers and limits

| | |
| - | - |
| Smallest reward paid out | 0.002 SOL. A smaller amount waits until it reaches that size |
| Rent on the first claim from a token | About 0.00074 SOL, once |
| Expiry of unclaimed SOL rewards | None |
| Holders' share | 0.20% of volume on the curve, 0.10% after migration |
| Stakers' share | 0.20% of volume on the curve, 0.10% after migration |
| Exit cooldown | 7 days by default |

Holder rewards are split by balance snapshots, so what counts is what you hold over time. The curve's own vault does not count.

## What can go wrong

> [accordion] I did not claim for a long time
>
> Unclaimed rewards stay yours, with no expiry. They are never moved to stakers or to the treasury.

> [accordion] Claim all asks more than once
>
> Many tokens can take more than one transaction. Your wallet asks once if it can sign them together.

> [accordion] A stock reward has not arrived
>
> The protocol sends stock rewards to your wallet. If one has not arrived, you can claim it yourself.

> [accordion] Claims are paused
>
> Your rewards stay in the token's vault. Exits from staking are not affected.
