## Compounding

As staking rewards are generated by Validators, the newly created MON tokens sit in an unclaimed state at the network level until the Validator claims them and re-bonds them. 

Any community member can execute a [`compound`](https://docs.kintsu.xyz/the-kintsu-protocol/architecture-and-integration/contract-interface-abi-and-functions#community-functions) transaction with the [`StakedMonad`](https://docs.kintsu.xyz/the-kintsu-protocol/architecture-and-integration/monad-lst-architecture/stakedmonad-contract) contract. This tells all of the participating Validators to claim then re-bond the claimed MON. This enables Kintsu to benefit from compounding yield rewards, and can happen at most once per [Era](https://docs.kintsu.xyz/overview/proof-of-stake-blockchains#staking-at-the-network-level).
