How this is measured

The rate follows the network's public emission formula: rewards are newly minted AVAX, scaled by how much of the remaining supply is left to mint and by the staking ratio — the more of the supply is staked, the lower the rate for everyone. The two curves differ only by term length: the consumption rate interpolates from 10% at the two-week minimum to 12% at the one-year maximum.

These are estimates computed from current conditions, not a promise of any return. The realized rate for any position also depends on the validator's delegation fee (for delegators) and on the validator maintaining the uptime requirement through the whole term — miss it and the reward is zero.
