APY Rewards
Your stake in ORE Pump earns rewards over time. This is your "refined ORE" - passive income for participating.
How APY Works
Annual Percentage Yield
APY represents your expected yearly return:
- Calculated based on current network conditions
- Paid in ORE tokens
- Compounds automatically
Variable Rates
APY can fluctuate based on:
- Overall network participation
- ORE mining difficulty
- Market conditions
Refined vs Unrefined ORE
Unrefined ORE (Stake)
- Accumulated through gameplay
- Not directly withdrawable
- Earns rewards over time
Refined ORE (Rewards)
- Generated from your stake
- Can be claimed and sold
- Real value you can use
Think of it like mining: your stake is the "mine" and refined ORE is what you extract.
