# 🔁 Restaking & Compounding

### <mark style="color:$primary;">What restaking means</mark>

Instead of simply withdrawing at maturity, users can restake their position and compound from a larger base.

A restaked amount may include:

* 💰 principal
* 📈 earned rewards
* 🎁 bonus amounts
* ♻️ redistributed rewards from penalty systems

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Why compounding matters</mark>

Compounding can strengthen long-term growth because each new cycle may begin from a larger balance.

This design supports:

* stronger user retention
* deeper long-term alignment
* more locked supply over time
* and larger upside for patient participants

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Strategic Interpretation</mark>

For long-term holders, RICO staking is not only about collecting a one-time reward.

It can become a multi-cycle accumulation strategy.

> 💎 In a system with staking, burns, and redistribution, time itself becomes an advantage.
