# 5.2.2 Staking Rewards vs Volume Rewards

There are two types of distributions streams sustained by Wicrypt: 

* Based on staking score (staking rewards) 
* Based on volume (host and user rewards)

While staking rewards are distributed to the users based on the staking score, volume rewards are distributed based on amount and size (capital-wise), of operations performed within Wicrypt platform.

Following activities will be accounting for a total volume of the user used as key for volume rewards distribution:

* Total amount of commission fees paid 
* Total amount spent on Wicrypt services 
* 10% of volume generated by all referred accounts 
* Total amount of $WNT tokens purchased through the mobile app

Volume is always expressed in $WNT token, even if a specific transaction is settled with a stable coin (in such cases the transaction size will be recalculated to $WNT using the applicable conversion ratio as of the date of the transaction/operation/activity).

As the staking score gets higher, so does the rewards multiplier, increasing the overall user share in both staking rewards and volume rewards.

Wicrypt sustains two types of volume-based rewards streams - **host** **rewards** and **user** **rewards**. Details related to host rewards calculation are covered in the ‘Host revenues and rewards’ section of this document.

Amount of received **user** **rewards** is referred to as ‘**cashback**’ bonus, and by default - it can’t be larger than the amount of cashback bonus limit assigned to the user account as per his staking level (please refer to the ‘Incentivisation’ section for more details).
