# 2.2 Master Node Staking

Purchasing a Master Node provides users with $vCASH, which forms the foundation for staking activities. Each node comes with an initial allocation of $vCASH equivalent to 20% of the node’s purchase value.

* Adding More $vCASH: Master Node owners can add additional $vCASH to their staking pool at any time, increasing their staking rewards and participation in the network.
* Cancelling Master Node Staking: If a staker decides to cancel their Master Node usage, they have the option to withdraw their tokens from the staking pool.
* Reward Payout Structure: Rewards are distributed on a 70/30 split, with 70% allocated to the staker and 30% retained for network operations and sustainability. Rewards are paid in the $CASH token.
* Daily Reward Calculation: The exact daily reward is determined at the time of staking, based on the current trading price of $CASH.
