# Delegator APY%

The methodology uses a rolling window calculation of total stake-weighted rewards based on the time periods (e.g. 3 days, 7 days, 30 days) calculated. Stake-weighted here means the daily rewards of delegators are divided by their delegated stake for the day. These stake-weighted rewards are then annualized over the given period. Delegator rewards are auto-compounded (except for MEV rewards through [Jito](https://explorer.jito.wtf/)).

  $$
  \text{APY}\% = \frac{\text{delegators rewards per stake in SOL} \times 365_{\text{d}} \times 24_{\text{h}} \times 60_{\text{m}} \times 60_{\text{s}}}{\text{time period in seconds}}
  $$

In order to control for noise due to differing active delegation times, the APY% calculation ONLY takes into consideration delegators that have active delegations for the whole time window. On the `1d` time period, the APY takes into account the rewards received for the last 3 days to smooth out the noise given Solana's staking rewards schedule, which is every epoch (\~2 days).
