# Yield - APY

Minipools offer a simplified and profitable approach to participating in network validation. This page details the types of yields generated by Minipools and the benefits of operating a Minipool compared to running a standard validator on the Avalanche network.

### Yields for Minipool Operators

Minipools enhance yield opportunities through the following ways:

1. **Native Validator Yield**: As each minipool is a validator on the Avalanche network, minipool operators earn yields from the validating network, similar to standard validators.
2. **GGP Staking Reward**: Minipool operators benefit from `GGP` rewards, which are based on the inflationary supply of `GGP` tokens. Rewards are calculated from the total effective `GGP` staked, up to 150% of the minipool operator's `AVAX` contribution, enhancing yield potentials.
3. **Subnet Incentives**: Additionally, Minipools may attract incentives from subnets that require decentralized and reliable validation services, adding another layer of earnings.

> The APY calculations for Minipools do not include hardware costs, which can vary based on the node operator’s geographical location and setup.

#### GGP Reward Calculation

Rewards are calculated proportionally based on your staked `GGP` up to a maximum of 150% of your `AVAX` contribution's value. Staking beyond 150% will not increase your eligible rewards. The amount of `GGP` reward is determined based on its share of the total effective GGP staked within the cycle.

#### Detailed Example

For a Minipool with a total of 2000 `AVAX` (a combination of 1000 `AVAX` from the minipool operator and 1000 `AVAX` from the liquid staking pool):

* You must stake at least 100 `AVAX` worth of `GGP`.
* The GGP reward will be increased up to 1500 `AVAX` worth of `GGP`. Beyond that, your `GGP` reward will not be increased.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hypha.sh/gogopool/minipool/yield-apy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
