How Are Returns Calculated?

• GTBTC payout = (GTBTC holding × daily annualized rate / 365) × (1 - service fee)

The reference annualized rate is provided by BsquaredNetwork and is based on the total blockchain rewards earned by all Gate validators. This rate is refreshed daily according to current market conditions.

• When do rewards start accumulating?
  If users stake on day D, rewards begin accruing on D+1 and are distributed daily by the system.
