# Reward Details

All rewards are paid in a BTC derivative (e.g., cbBTC, wBTC, etc.) at the end of each season.

Users are required to claim their rewards within a specific time window (currently set at three days) after each season ends to claim BTC yield.

Staking accumulates pSATS, which are automatically converted into BTC when a user claims their rewards (see the Yield Calculation Methodology section for more details)

The distribution of pSATS during the staking period is allocated in two separate pools as follows:

* 80% of pSATS to all users staking PSTAKE
* 20% of pSATS to PSTAKE Stakers holding at least 0.05 YBTC.

As a result, users that have deposited BTC into the pSTAKE Finance BTC Liquid Staking solution (min 0.05 BTC) will generate a higher allocation of pSATS and, therefore, BTC yields.

The following table demonstrates allocations for users:

| User Journey            | <p><br></p>         |                     |                  |
| ----------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- |
| Has PSTAKE (not staked) | Has PSTAKE (staked) | Holds yBTC (+=0.05) | <p><br></p>      |

## 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://docs.pstake.finance/pstake-staking/pstake-staking-details/reward-details.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.
