# APY Calculation and Reward Distribution

Meme Vault’s staking rewards are calculated based on the **Annual Percentage Yield (APY)** specified by the project owner for each pool. Here's how it works:

* **APY Calculation**: The APY is an annualized rate of return, meaning investors will earn the stated percentage of their staked tokens over the course of a year. For example, if a pool offers 12% APY, investors will earn 1% of their staked tokens each month.
* **Reward Distribution**: Rewards are distributed either **instantly** or at set intervals, depending on the pool's configuration. Investors can claim these rewards directly through the platform.
* **Compounding Rewards**: For pools that allow it, investors may also have the option to reinvest their rewards, compounding their returns over time.

This transparent and efficient system ensures that both project owners and investors can maximize their benefits, making Meme Vault the go-to platform for staking meme coins and other crypto tokens.
