OHMVAULTWhat does staking pay?
Type an amount and see what it earns right now and what it could earn from here, worked out from the chain every 30 seconds. Staking rewards are new OHMV minted every 6 hours when the OHM backing each token sets a new high. Some epochs pay the 2% cap, some pay nothing.

Settings and chart
Projection lengthDollars use today's OHMV price, held flat while supply grows.
Recent pace: the 2% cap at every 6-hour tick, what the last run of ticks paid and the most the contract can pay. Average since launch: the share of supply minted per tick so far, empty ticks included. No new OHM: what the OHM already in the pool can pay before it runs out. Your stake is added to the pool first, and a new stake waits one tick. None of these is a promise.

How rewards are paid
Where the reward comes from
Every trade pays a 5% fee and part of it compounds OHM into the pool, and every bond adds OHM. When the OHM behind each OHMV sets a new high (checked at the epoch's lowest point, in OHM and in dollars), the Ratchet mints new OHMV to stakers: 0.75 × supply × the growth over the mark, at most 2% of supply per epoch.
How your share is worked out
A mint is split across all OHMV that is earning at that tick, pro rata. A new stake is pending until the next tick, then starts earning. Its first payout is at the tick after that. Rewards pile up as unclaimed OHMV; claim any time, or restake them to compound. You can unstake 6 hours after your last stake. Then a 6-hour cooldown runs before you withdraw.
your reward = mint × your stake ÷ all stakedat each paying tickQuestions
What are the other ways to read it?
Nobody knows the next epoch in advance, because the Ratchet pays only when backing is above the mark. The headline assumes every tick pays the 2% cap. That is what recent ticks paid, and it is also the most the contract can pay. Under "Other ways to read it": Recent pace is that same cap over the length you pick, Average since launch is what ticks have actually paid so far (empty ones included), and No new OHM is what the OHM already in the pool can still pay.
Why does a bigger stake earn a lower rate?
Each mint is shared by everyone staked. The calculator adds your amount to the pool first, so the rate it shows is the one you would actually get.
Are the dollar amounts real?
They use today's OHMV price, held flat. Every paying tick adds up to 2% to the supply, so holding the price flat over weeks means the market value has to grow with the supply. If the price moves, the dollar value moves with it; the OHMV amounts and your share of supply don't change.
Does compounding happen by itself?
Not for a direct stake: rewards collect as unclaimed OHMV, so claim and stake again to add them to your stake. Staking again restarts the 6-hour unstake lock on your whole position. Or use Auto-stake on the staking page, which restakes every epoch's reward for you.
