How often is staked maturity distributed ?

Staked maturity is not distributed at specific intervals. Instead, it accumulates as a result of your participation in governance voting on the Internet Computer. When you stake your ICP in a neuron, you earn voting rewards in the form of maturity. This staked maturity adds voting power to your neuron, which means your voting rewards are going up because you are compounding your rewards.

However, the staked maturity will not be minted as ICP until you fully dissolve and disperse the full stake of ICP in your neuron. When you are ready to harvest rewards from your governance participation, you can stop staking maturity automatically and allow it to accumulate. Any time you have more than 1.05 maturity, you can spawn a neuron to liquidate that maturity as ICP[1].

It’s also worth noting that the maturity of a neuron refreshes once per day with the rewards from the previous day[^2^].
