# Network Security Rewards

The TON blockchain pays rewards to people who help secure and maintain the network through a process called "staking."

**How it works:**

* The TON network needs computers working together to verify transactions and keep everything running smoothly
* When you stake TON tokens, you're helping secure this network without running any computers yourself
* The network pays rewards to stakers from two sources:
  * **Transaction fees:** Small fees people pay when using the TON network
  * **New token creation:** The network regularly creates new TON tokens and distributes some to stakers

**Returns:** TON staking typically generates around 3-5% annual returns. While lower than trading or lending, these returns are generally more stable because they come from actual network usage.

**Through FIVA:** We partner with Tonstakers (the largest staking service on TON) to handle all the technical complexity. You simply deposit through FIVA, and your tokens automatically participate in securing the TON network while earning steady rewards.

**Why this works:** As long as people use the TON network for transactions and apps, there will be fees to distribute and new tokens created. Your staked tokens help keep this entire ecosystem running securely.
