# DAO Rewards

Participate in the Woken protocol decisions and get rewarded for each proposal approved on the DAO.

## Rewards

Earn 0.25% of your WKN used for voting (+0.1% if submitter) when a proposal is accepted\
[60% of the quorum](/wokenexchange/woken-v1-our-solution/dao-vote/woken-protocol-votes.md) must be reached to validate a proposal<br>

## Estimate APY per year?

We expect about 50 proposals for the first year, but the number may vary according to the protocol's popularity.\
\
In our example, we're assuming 50 proposals, of which half, or 25, would be accepted. \
With an initial balance of 100,000 WKN, participation in 25 validated votes, and a cumulative reward of 0.25%.

$$
Sn = S0 \* (1 + r)^n
$$

S25 = 100000 \* (1 + 0.0025)^25\
S25 ≈ 106,449 WKN

APY  ≈ **6.45%**

{% hint style="info" %}
The percentage may be adjusted by a protocol community vote. \
The goal is to maintain an average APY between 5 and 7% to ensure a sustainable model before moving to a fixed percentage on Woken V2.\
See the [Snapshot API](/wokenexchange/woken-v1-our-solution/dao-vote/snapshot-api.md) section.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
A proposal submitter also earns 0.1% of his used WKNs and can also vote, so he can earn 0.35% if his proposal is accepted.
{% endhint %}

##

## When the rewards are send?

Rewards are send to voters and submitter at the end of each validated proposal, via a multisender. Each reward proof (tx) will be published on our Discord server.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The rewards are only applied to the Woken protocol votes and not to the market votes of Woken Certified Projects.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://woken-exchange.gitbook.io/wokenexchange/protocol-and-tokenomic/dao-rewards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
