# Community Actions

## 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`](/the-kintsu-protocol/architecture-and-integration/monad-lst-architecture/contract-interface-abi-and-functions.md#community-functions) transaction with the [`StakedMonad`](/the-kintsu-protocol/architecture-and-integration/monad-lst-architecture/stakedmonad-contract.md) 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](/overview/proof-of-stake-blockchains.md#staking-at-the-network-level).
