# Staking Rewards

MSIG staking is designed to align long‑term participants with the overall health and usage of the Meta Signals ecosystem, without granting any claim on company revenue, equity, or profits. Stakers contribute to network security and stability and, in return, receive protocol‑driven rewards that are determined by transparent rules encoded in the system.

**How staking rewards work:**

* Rewards are distributed according to a predefined on‑chain mechanism that can source funds from designated ecosystem treasuries and budgets (for example, from fees that have been allocated to the protocol treasury by governance), not from any contractual right to business revenue or profit share.
* The effective reward rate depends on factors such as total staking participation, treasury parameters, and governance‑set configurations, rather than any promise of fixed yield or return.
* Stakers can opt to auto‑compound their rewards, increasing their stake over time according to the same public, rules‑based logic.
