Estimate your rewards

Any active validator, before its commission: about 7.88% a year

Kava has no inflation: its community pool pays stakers a fixed amount per second, shared by all staked KAVA. This is that amount over a year as a share of the stake, before the validator's commission.

This validator is Exited (tombstoned (banned for good for double-signing), jailed more than 42 days ago and never unjailed, or fully unbonded and dropped from the chain's list of validators: gone for good or long abandoned). It isn’t earning rewards now, so BitBasic shows no estimate for it.

An estimate, not a promise. It assumes the network keeps paying what it pays now and that the validator performs like an average one. Real rewards move with luck, uptime, fees and network changes. Not financial advice.

How this is worked out

Kava’s community pool pays stakers 0.317097 KAVA a second (10M KAVA over a 365-day year), shared by the 127.03M KAVA staked, so every active validator’s stake earns 7.88% a year before its commission (Kava reports 7.87%, counting 365 days a year).

Assumptions

  • The pool pays a fixed amount a second, not a share of the supply, so the rate falls as more KAVA is staked and rises as stake leaves.
  • The pool funds these rewards only while it lasts: at this rate it runs out in about 9.4 months (to around Aug 2027), unless it is topped up or the rate changes. After that stakers earn only transaction fees.
  • Governance can change the amount paid a second at any time.
  • Transaction fees are shared out the same way but left out here.
  • Rewards are not counted as restaked. They wait until claimed; claiming and restaking them every day turns 7.88% a year into about 8.20%.
  • Kava’s own figure counts a 365-day year; these estimates count 365.25 days, so the same reward a second shows a little more a year.
