No man it not compound you need to unstake to get the reward then stake again

Your staked amount stays at 100 SUI. The 2 SUI reward is earned separately, and you’ll need to manually restake it if you want it added to your stake.

No, staking rewards are not automatically added to your stake. If you stake 100 SUI and earn 2 SUI, your stake stays at 100 SUI. You must manually claim and restake the rewards to increase your total stake.

Yes, staking rewards are automatically added to your stake in SUI 7:2. When you stake 100 SUI and earn 2 SUI as rewards, your total stake will automatically increase to 102 SUI - you don't need to manually add the rewards.

The diagram shows how your stake grows over time, with the blue boxes representing your initial stake and final position, and the green box showing the earning period where rewards are calculated and automatically added.

How It Works

• Rewards begin at the start of the next epoch after staking 7:2
• The system automatically compounds your rewards
• No manual action is required to add rewards to your stake
• Your stake continues earning on the new total amount

Practical Considerations

• Keep some SUI aside for gas fees 7:2
• Consider your unstaking strategy if you need access to your funds
• Rewards are based on network performance and validator efficiency
• The compounding effect helps your stake grow over time

This automatic compounding feature makes SUI staking particularly user-friendly, as you don't need to manually manage your rewards or worry about missing out on additional earnings from your reward tokens.

Auto-compounding (automatic restaking): Some protocols (like certain liquid staking derivatives or validators with “auto-compound” enabled) will automatically add your staking rewards back to your staked balance. This means your rewards start generating rewards on their own without you doing anything.

Manual claiming: On many networks (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Cardano), rewards accumulate separately. You need to manually claim or restake them to increase your staked amount.

Centralized exchanges (CEXs): If you stake through an exchange (like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken), they may auto-compound rewards for you, or distribute them to your spot wallet instead.

Yes, your reward is included in your staked amount. So in your example, your stake would increase to 102 SUI with the rewards. However, access to those additional staked rewards is only possible when you unstake.
