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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
