# Mitosis (MITO)

### What is Mitosis?

> [Mitosis Chain](https://mitosis.org/) is a Layer 1 blockchain that merges the best of Ethereum’s execution capabilities with the Cosmos ecosystem’s consensus mechanisms. It employs a modular architecture that separates execution from consensus.
>
> Mitosis redefines how liquidity works in DeFi by transforming liquidity positions into programmable components, unlocking a new level of flexibility and efficiency across the ecosystem. In traditional DeFi setups, liquidity providers face two major limitations:
>
> * Their positions become illiquid once deposited.
> * The most profitable opportunities are often accessible only to large players.
>
> Mitosis breaks this pattern. Through a cross-chain framework, users deposit assets into Mitosis Vaults and receive Hub Assets on the Mitosis Chain — tokens that mirror their deposits but can move freely and be leveraged across yield-generating opportunities.

#### How to Claim Staking Rewards

* Staking rewards on Mitosis are distributed on an epoch basis. Each epoch lasts 7 days, and rewards are normally calculated and distributed within several days after an epoch ends.
* To receive your rewards, you need to manually claim gMITO on the [My Staking](https://app.mitosis.org/profile?tab=staking) page. The claimed gMITO can then be used according to the protocol’s design or managed from your wallet.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Are staking MITO and tMITO different?</strong></summary>

No. There is no difference between staking MITO or tMITO. You will receive gMITO rewards regardless of which token you use. Staking 1 MITO and staking 1 tMITO earns you the same rewards.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How Everstake deduces validator fee?</strong></summary>

“Validator fee” refers to the rewards received by Validator for participating in the Blockchain network Validation process. Everstake determines the validator fee through a process involving analysis and consideration of various factors, such as network requirements, operational costs, and market dynamics.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Control over User's Funds</strong></summary>

Validators don't have control over users' funds in blockchain networks. Instead, they validate transactions and participate in the consensus process based on the rules defined by the network protocol. Users retain control over their funds through private keys, which are used to sign transactions and authorize transfers. Validators' roles involve confirming the validity of transactions and blocks, but they don't have the authority to access or manipulate users' funds.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Rewards Distribution</strong></summary>

Validator rewards, distributed in gMITO tokens, are issued each epoch based on both collateral and staking contributions. Collateral rewards are sent to the validator’s designated reward manager, while staking rewards are allocated to users who delegated to that validator.

All staking rewards are paid in gMITO and distributed every epoch (7 days). Users can claim their rewards each epoch.
