The Council (through CoinCom) has voted to implement a maximum cap of [2.5% annual reward rate](https://hedera.com/blog/hedera-governing-council-votes-to-approve-changes-to-staking-algorithm). The actual reward rate will vary depending on how many HBAR are staked for rewards, but the rate will not exceed the cap. In the future, when nodes are down or inactive the staked account will not be eligible to earn rewards. +Hedera offers a unique feature: **indirect staking**. If account A stakes to account B, and account B stakes to a node, the stake from both A and B increases the node's consensus weight. However, the rewards for both accounts are paid to account B. -This staking system offers an additional unique functionality: **indirect staking**. If account A stakes to node N, then the stake increases the consensus weight of N, and account A is rewarded for every 24-hour period that it stakes. If account A stakes to account B, and account B stakes to node N, then the stake from both A and B will increase the consensus weight of N, but the rewards for both A and B will be received by B. +An account can also optionally decline to earn rewards, though its balance will still contribute to the node's stake. -An account can optionally decline to earn rewards when staked.
