Staking rewards accumulate automatically. You must claim them manually to receive your tokens.
How Rewards Accumulate
As long as your tokens remain staked, you earn additional WELL rewards. These accumulate over time but stay in the protocol until you claim them, with no expiry.
Method 1: Claim via the Stake Page
Navigate to the Stake page.
Look for the Rewards panel showing your accumulated rewards balance.
Click Claim.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Your rewards are transferred to your wallet.
Method 2: Claim via the Portfolio Page
Navigate to the Portfolio page.
Find the Staking section.
You'll see three panels:
Your free token balance
Your claimable staking rewards
Your staked token balance (with cooldown information if active)
Click Claim in the Rewards panel.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Your rewards are transferred to your wallet.
Important Notes
Claiming Does Not Affect Your Stake
When you claim rewards, your staked position stays unchanged. Your stkWELL tokens remain staked and continue earning rewards.
Claiming and Cooldown
Claiming rewards doesn't start or interfere with your cooldown period. If you have an active cooldown, claiming rewards doesn't affect it.
Rewards Continue During Cooldown
If you've activated a cooldown period, you continue earning rewards during the 7-day wait, and you can claim those accumulated rewards even while your cooldown is active.
Making the Most of Rewards
Restake to compound. You can stake claimed WELL or MFAM rewards to grow your position and your rewards over time.
Mind the gas. Claiming costs a network fee, so on smaller positions it can make sense to let rewards build up first.
