# How Does Auto-Staking Work?

Auto-Staking

The Auto-Stake feature is a simple yet cutting-edge function called **Buy-Stake-Hold-Earn**, that provides the ultimate ease of use for $MaxAPY holders. 

**Buy-Stake-Hold-Earn** - By simply buying and holding $MaxAPY token in your wallet, you earn rebase rewards as interest payments directly into your wallet. Your tokens will increase <mark style="color:green;">**every 3 Seconds.**</mark>

Using a Positive Rebase formula, MaxAPY makes it possible for token distribution to be paid directly proportional to the epoch rebase rewards, worth 0.00008833498813% every 3 seconds epoch period of the total amount of $MaxAPY tokens held in your wallet. The rebase rewards are distributed on each EPOCH (3 Seconds rebase period) to all $MaxAPY holders.&#x20;

**This means that without moving your tokens from your wallet, MaxAPY holders will receive an annual compound interest of 960,000%** **for Year 1.**&#x20;

**The interest rebase rate then reduces after the first 12 months:**
