# How Does Auto-Staking Work?

The Doge Auto-Stake feature is a simple yet cutting-edge function called <mark style="color:yellow;">**Buy-Hold-Earn**</mark>, that provides the ultimate ease of use for $APYD holders.

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

Using a Positive Rebase formula, APY Doge makes it possible for token distribution to be paid directly proportional to the epoch rebase rewards, worth 0.02387% every 15 minute epoch period of the total amount of **$APYD** tokens held in your wallet. The rebase rewards are distributed on each EPOCH (15 minute rebase period) to all **$APYD** holders.

**This means that without moving their tokens from their wallet, APY Doge holders receive an annual compound interest of 549,275.38% for Year 1.**

<mark style="color:red;">**The interest rebase rate then reduces after the first 12 months.**</mark>
