As shown in the tokenomics overview, initial staking pools will support over a 5-year period. It is expected (but not guaranteed) that network revenue will support continued replenishment of this pool in the longterm.

This is to ensure a few things;

* **Rewards are sustainable** over a long period of time&#x20;
* **Longterm supporters are rewarded** for participating in the MODA ecosystem during volatile market conditions
* As the DAO treasury earns more revenue over the long-term, we have the opportunity to **buy $MODA** off the market and **add it back into the rewards pool**

Further, our staking formula takes all rewards pools into account (staking/LP) and can distribute rewards evenly amongst participators. You can see this below;

Please note: Staking and Liquidity Providing carry inherent risk. All APY's displayed via our staking portal are estimates and may not be actual. **MODA DAO tokens are for the purpose of membership and governance and do not guarantee a return, both to $MODA token buyers and stakers/liquidity providers.**
