# Staking APY

Staking with The Vault offers competitive returns while supporting the growth of Solana communities.

***

#### 🛡️ Network Security Rewards

The staking APY fluctuates, typically ranging between 6% and 8%. While we aim to maximize staking APY, we also prioritize bootstrapping communities by delegating to their validators.

Note: This APY does not include additional rewards, such as points, other token rewards, or potential future bribe rewards.

***

#### ⚡ MEV Rewards

All allowlisted validators are required to capture MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) rewards. This ensures that vSOL holders benefit from:

* Maximum MEV commissions
* A boosted APY on top of standard staking rewards

***

#### 🎁 Reward Tokens

As part of our validator bootstrapping process, ecosystem communities are encouraged to:

* Offer token rewards through the vSOL Quarry and Saber vSOL-SOL LP token quarries.

This creates additional earning opportunities, delivering greater yields beyond the standard staking rewards.

With The Vault, staking isn’t just about security - it’s about unlocking maximum value for you and the Solana ecosystem.&#x20;
