Hey,
Quick question about rewards. Once I start earning them, will they be automatically added to my stake or do I need to manually claim and restake?
Just trying to understand how compounding works with both Base and Cardano.
Hey @Emergent,
Both Base and Cardano auto-compound your WMTx rewards, so there’s no need to manually claim and restake to keep compounding going.
On Base
The staking contract automatically rolls your earned rewards into your staked balance behind the scenes. As rewards accrue each block, your “principal” grows without you ever having to call claim or deposit yourself.
On Cardano
Each monthly snapshot at 00:00 UTC on the 1st reads your full on-chain WMTx balance — including any earned rewards — and uses that as your stake for the next cycle. You don’t need to claim rewards into your vault or resend them; the vault simply reflects your updated balance at snapshot time.
So once you’re staked, just leave your tokens in place and watch your stake grow automatically on both chains.
