# How Rewards Work

> The reward model behind the Singularity Engine — pro-rata by stake weight, accruing continuously, paid in USDC + \$SGL.

Rewards are **pro-rata by stake weight and accrue continuously** — there is **no fixed APR and no emission schedule**. Each time network revenue is distributed, every staker is credited in proportion to their share of the total staked *at that moment*.

## The model in one line

> Your reward from a distribution = `distribution_amount × (your_stake / total_staked)`

That's it. No tiers, no lockup multipliers, no bonus curves — just your fraction of the pool.

## Two independent streams

Rewards come in **two currencies that never mix**:

* **USDC** — paid in USDC
* \*\*$SGL** — paid in $SGL

Each has its own running accumulator, so a USDC distribution and a \$SGL distribution are tracked and claimed independently (you claim both together — see [Claiming](/staking/rewards/claiming)).

## Continuous, not scheduled

There's no weekly "rewards day." As the network earns revenue, the staker share is deposited into the reward pool, and that deposit is split across whoever is staked at that instant. Stake more, or stay staked longer through more distributions, and you earn more.
