# Community Actions

## Compounding

As staking rewards are generated by Validators, the newly created AZERO sit in an unclaimed state at the network level until the Validator claims them and re-bonds them. 

Any community member can execute a [`compound`](/the-ike-protocol/architecture/smart-contract-functions.md#staking-functions) transaction with the [`Vault`](/the-ike-protocol/architecture/core-smart-contracts.md#the-vault-contract) contract. This tells all of the participating Validators to claim then re-bond the claimed AZERO. This enables Ike to benefit from compounding yield rewards, and can happen at most once per [Era](/overview/proof-of-stake-blockchains.md#staking-at-the-network-level).

## Delegate Withdrawal Unbonded

Technically, any community member can execute the [`delegateWithdrawUnbonded`](/the-ike-protocol/architecture/smart-contract-functions.md#unstaking-functions) function. If no community member does this, it will happen the time a user tries to redeem AZERO. There is no incentive fee for doing this.
