# Staking & Rewards

{% hint style="warning" %}

## **BASED NUT rewards have taken several forms across the ecosystem: native yield, staking vaults, and community airdrops.**

Future rewards are not guaranteed and depend on market conditions and community availability. Follow BASED NUT on Telegram and socials for current programs.<br>
{% endhint %}

### 🥜 pNUT Native Yield

**pNUT** is the Balancer index pool containing:

* 🌰 NUT
* 🦸 SNUT
* Ξ cbETH
* ₿ cbBTC

Because **cbETH is yield-bearing**, the pNUT basket carries native staking-yield exposure through its cbETH component.

The Balancer pool also generates trading fees as assets rebalance through market activity and arbitrage.

> **Yield-bearing collateral + trading activity + arbitrage dynamics.**
