# How Does Auto-Staking Work?

The OAP Auto-Stake feature is a simple yet cutting-edge function called **Buy-Hold-Earn**, that provides the ultimate ease of use for $OCTRO holders. 

**Buy-Hold-Earn** - By simply buying and holding $OCTRO token in your wallet, you earn rebase rewards as interest payments directly into your wallet. Your tokens will increase <mark style="color:green;">**every 15 minutes**</mark><mark style="color:green;">.</mark>&#x20;

Using a Positive Rebase formula, Octro makes it possible for token distribution to be paid directly proportional to the epoch rebase rewards, worth 0.02394% every 15 minute epoch period of the total amount of $OCTRO tokens held in your wallet. The rebase rewards are distributed on each EPOCH (15 minute rebase period) to all $OCTRO holders.&#x20;

**This means that without moving their tokens from their wallet, Octro holders receive an annual compound interest of&#x20;**<mark style="color:green;">**399,391.188%**</mark>**&#x20;for Year 1.**&#x20;

**The interest rebase rate then reduces after the first 12 months:** [**Click Here**](https://octrofinance.gitbook.io/octro-finance/longterm-interest-cycle-lic)**.**
