# Shares Exchange Rate

> Tracking of exchange rates between staking shares and NEAR tokens

# Overview

The `near.staking.shares_exchange_rate` model tracks the exchange rates between staking shares and NEAR tokens across validators.

This model is updated at every epoch.

## Use Cases

This model is particularly useful for:

* Historical analysis of validator performance and stake distribution trends
* Day-over-day pool comparisons and growth tracking
* Simplified time-series analysis for staking metrics and delegation patterns
