# Overview of Staking Rewards

### How is the staking rewards received?

Once you liquid-stake your `CRE`, you will get `bCRE` according to the mint rate. During liquid staking period, the staking rewards are added to the liquid staking module. When you liquid-unstake your `bCRE` after some time, you will get `CRE` which will be larger amount than what you originally liquid staked.

As illustrated above, with the assumption that you liquid-stake `X CREs`,  after some duration, you will get `X+Y CREs`.
