# Staking Pool Rewards
#### Description
The main objectives of staking pools is to lock-up tokens in a desired pool and activate Data Collection Bonuses in specific areas. In exchange for locking their tokens, users can get an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and discounts to buy data collecting products (sensor or lidiar).
#### Token Unlock
Yearly Token Unlock: 900,000 EDAT\
Monthly Token Unlock: 75,000 EDAT
Staking in Pools will require Lock-Up periods in return for an annual percentage yield (APY).
#### APY Considerations
Periodic rate of return (r): 8%\
Number of compounding periods each year (n): 12 **→ monthly compound**
$$
APY = (1 + r/n)ⁿ − 1
$$
**APY = 8.30%**
