# Reward Distributions

## Pool Balances

The poolBalance is distributed to users staking. It is initially supplied as native-tokens (DAFI) which is locked in the distributionContract, this is defined as maxTokens.

$$
Pool Balance = (maxTokens – totalDistributed + withdrawalFees) \* demandFactor
$$

This is later used, to understand how much dDAFI will be distributed per second, to the entire network.

$$
distributePerSecond = poolBalance / programDuration
