# Module 5.2｜Your sNX automatically increases over time!

When you stake 1 NX, you receive 1 staked sNX. Over time, you will also **linearly earn additional sNX** in the available state. This additional sNX grows at a rate of 1x your staked NX after one year, with a **maximum total sNX of 2 sNX.**

## Simplified Explanation of sNX Growth and Revenue Share

Let's break it down in a simpler way:

**At the Start:**

* Imagine Bob stakes 100 NX tokens.
* He gets 100 sNX in return, which represents his stake in the platform.

**After 1 Year:**

* Bob's staked sNX stays at 100, but he earns an extra 100 sNX over time.
* Now, he has a total of 200 sNX.

## **Revenue Share**

* The platform collects fees and shares a portion with stakers.
* The more sNX you have, the bigger your share of the fees.

**Example:**

* Let's say the platform has 1,000,000 sNX in total.
* It collects 10,000 USDC in fees over two weeks and shares 30% (3,000 USDC) with stakers.

**At the Start:**

* Bob's share of the revenue is:

$$
\frac{200}{1,000,000} \times 3,000 \text{ USDC} = 0.6 \text{ USDC}
$$

**After 1 Year:**

* Bob's share of the revenue is:

$$
\frac{200}{1,000,000} \times 3,000 \text{ USDC} = 0.6 \text{ USDC}
$$

## Key Points:

1. **sNX Growth:** Over time, Bob's sNX doubles from 100 to 200.
2. **Revenue Share Increase:** Bob's share of the platform's revenue also doubles from 0.3 USDC to 0.6 USDC.
3. **Proportional Share:** The more sNX you hold, the more revenue you earn. It's like having more tickets in a lottery where the prize is the platform's revenue.

By staking NX and letting sNX grow, users can earn more rewards from the platform's success without doing anything extra.
