# Post-deployment additional information ## How we calculate our metrics #### Individual TVL, exchange rate and total holders Updated every couple of hours and read from on-chain data. #### Individual epoch APY Updated a few hours into the epoch and calculated using the following formula: $$ \text{APY}*i = ((\frac{\frac{\text{TVL}*{i-1}}{\text{SUPPLY}*{i-1}}}{\frac{\text{TVL}*{i-2}}{\text{SUPPLY}\_{i-2}}})^\text{E} -1)\*100 $$ Where: * $$\text{E}$$ is the approximated number of epochs in a year. * $$\text{APY}\_i$$ is the APY displayed during epoch $${i}$$. * $$\text{TVL}\_{i-1}$$ is the TVL in SOL at the end of epoch $${i-1}$$. * $$\text{SUPPLY}\_{i-1}$$ is the total LST supply at the end of epoch $${i-1}$$. * $$\text{TVL}*{i-2}$$ and $$\text{SUPPLY}*{i-2}$$ refer to the values at the end of epoch $${i-2}$$. #### Frontpage 10-epoch APY Updated a few hours into the epoch. Calculated using individual epoch APY data. To ensure accuracy, we use the mean of a 10-epoch rolling window, but if there’s a notable discrepancy between the mean and the median, we'll use the median to reflect the true value. ## Increasing the APY for your holders You may want to consider redistributing some of your block rewards or external revenue to increase the APY. This can be particularly effective as a way to attract initial stake, since block rewards sharing is not the norm on Solana yet. We built a tool to redistribute block rewards to your stakers, [check it out](https://github.com/igneous-labs/sanctum-block-rewards-cli) if you're interested. ## How often does the stake in the stake pool get delegated to the validator(s)? An initial, substantial activation threshold is applied at the beginning of an epoch, which then decays linearly to zero to ensure complete stake activation by the end of epoch's conclusion. ## What to do when your LST doesn't show a price in wallets? Believe it or not, we've been working with data and wallet providers for months to fix this issue. In the meantime, you can create a really small LP on DEXes. After a period of trade inactivity, the price feed will go stale but you can swap directly through your LP to refresh the price. We hope to fix this once and for all very soon. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
