In this projection, compounding adds 578.1732 HBAR over 5 years compared with simple interest, assuming rewards are reinvested at the same rate.

Note: APY assumes rewards are reinvested at the stated rate. Real staking yields vary based on network participation, validator fees, and market conditions. Staking rewards are generally treated as ordinary income at fair market value when received (IRS guidance). Compounding requires actively reinvesting rewards.
