# Real Yield Staking

The majority of the [protocol earnings](/tokenomics/protocol-earnings.md) are redistributed to users who allocated xGRAIL to the real yield staking plugin.

Staking distribution can be done in the form of one or more tokens, and happens **continuously** (reward/second), through weekly epochs.

### Epochs

The distribution is based on a weekly epoch logic: every week, a fixed part of the owner-defined accumulated tokens is marked as to be distributed.

The same process is repeated every 7 days.

### Payouts handling

The distribution of those tokens is equally spread over the duration of the epoch, and allocated on a second-basis to every user with a xGRAIL allocation on this real yield staking plugin, proportionally to their share of the total allocation.

{% hint style="info" %}
In more simpler terms, if we go with the following values:

* a total of 10,000 xGRAIL allocated to the real yield staking plugin
* a daily distribution of 10,000 USDC

If a user has allocated 200 xGRAIL to the plugin, he owns 2% of the allocations and will consequently receive 2% of the daily rewards, ie 200 USDC.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Staking rewards are being distributed continuously, users don't need to wait for the end of the epoch to collect them.
{% endhint %}

### Deallocation

Deallocating xGRAIL from this plugin is subject to a 0.5% fee.
