# An evolution in earning in DEFI

You collect BNB by accessing the dashboard page at[ ](https://app.moonrat.finance/)<https://app.moonshield.finance/>\
\
Moonshield is a fork of Moonrat therefore we used their explanation of the rewards mechanisms here:\
\
**4%** of every transaction is taken and re-distributed to all MOONSHIELD holders in $BNB.

You will have to wait for a specific duration called **cycle** (about 1 week) to collect your BNB reward.

In this waiting duration, if you continue to add more than 2% (**threshHoldTopUpRate**) of your $MSHLD\
balance, the waiting duration will proportionally add up with the cycle.&#x20;

*(If you sell $MSHLD it does not affect your cycle)*

For example, on the first day of your cycle, you add up more 5% **$MSHLD**, you have to wait: **5%\*7days = 8,4** hours more. That means you can collect BNB after **7 days and 8,4 hours.**

But if the **threshHoldTopUpRate >= 100%,** the waiting duration will add up max to 7 days.

For example, on the first day of your cycle, you add up more 100% $MSHLD, you have to wait: **7 days** more. That means you can collect BNB after **14 days.**

This will prevent cheaters who try to add more **$MSHLD** at the end of each cycle.\

**Collect BNB Tax**

We recognized that top holders might have had more advantages when collecting BNB than others. Following the philosophy of building a pure community-driven project. We introduce a new tax feature.

If you collect more than 2 BNB, **20%** of it will be used to buy back **$MSHLD** at the market price and burn them immediately. This feature helps deflate the supply and increase the price of **$MSHLD** for long-term **$MSHLD** holders

## **FAQ** <a href="#d474" id="d474"></a>

1. ***How many BNB can I collect?***\
   You can collect the amount of the BNB based on the ratio of $MSHLD you hold/the total BNB pool.

   For example, you hold 1% of $MSHLD, you can withdraw 1% of the BNB reward pool.
2. **What is the BNB pool?**\
   **4%** of every transaction is taken and re-distributed to all MOONSHIELD holders in $BNB. This amount of BNB called the BNB pool.
3. **What if I don’t collect BNB reward in my cycle?**\
   If you don’t collect at your cycle and other holders claim, the BNB pool will reduce.

   So then the ratio of your $MSHLD/BNB pool reduces as well. That’s why you should collect as soon as your cycle is ready&#x20;
4. **Why my collectable BNB always changes?**

You can collect the amount of the BNB based on the ratio of $MSHLD you hold/the total BNB pool. So when the total BNB in reward pool changes, you **collectable BNB** as well.
