### Fee-sharing Staking Rewards

$vTHOR staking is rewarded in $THOR and auto-compounding. $uTHOR on the other hand, rewards stakers in $USDC stablecoin which can be claimed at anytime. Both pools are rewarded from 55% of THORSwap fees (alongside $yTHOR, which operates in the same manner as $uTHOR except it is locked and $THOR cannot be withdrawn once staked).

How rewards work:

25% of THORSwap revenue will go to THORSwap Treasury for development and maintenance.

55% of THORSwap revenue will accrue back to $vTHOR, $uTHOR, $yTHOR and THOR LP based on the ratio of $THOR in each pool

20% of THORSwap revenue will go towards buyback + burn programme.

This new staking rewards model offers the community more choice and freedom in deciding how they wish to receive their staking rewards.
