Estimated reward payout: Reward payouts are distributed to each validator's staking pool every epoch (24 hours) and only reaches the staker after unstaking.
Time to first reward: Rewards will be received when the staker unstakes. A staker needs to stake for the entirety of an epoch in order to receive rewards for that epoch when unstaking/withdrawing.
Rewards may not settle in a specified account for an additional duration depending on network conditions and batching of rewards.
Delegator reward compound: SUI uses a staking pool approach inspired by liquidity pools. Rewards are added to the pool and auto-compounded through the appreciation of pool tokens. Rewards are auto-compounded and also locked up like the principal.
