# Rewards and Earnings

**How are rewards accumulated into MATICX?** 

Native rewards on staking Matic are calculated basis [this](https://wallet.polygon.technology/staking/rewards-calculator) rewards calculator on the Polygon website. Stader smart contracts accumulate the rewards offered natively from the staked MATIC & restake them into the smart contract once a day increasing the MATICX exchange rate. New MATICX tokens are only minted when a user deposits equivalent amount of MATIC into our smart contract.

**How can I calculate my earnings?** 

When MATICX is multiplied by the exchange rate, it gives the current worth of MATIC. If you subtract the original MATIC amount invested from this, you get your earnings.

**Is Stader going to integrate with DeFi platforms?** 

We are working on integrations with various yield aggregators, lending protocols etc for MATICX.
