# Hord Reward Model At Hord, stakers start earning staking rewards from the moment they receive hETH without the need to wait for validator activation. The liquid token hETH represents the stake and rewards generated by the entire Hord ETH staking pool. As such, the value of hETH isn’t pegged to the value of ETH and is anticipated to increase over time in relation to ETH. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
