It’s been a while, but I have now just transferred my Algo back to my own wallet and I remember having made daily zero Algo transactions to myself for rewards compounding. I guess this is not necessary anymore? Because every time I take a look at my wallet the balance has increased automatically. …

Hi, @MasterOne , welcome back on the Forum! Only the output display of the Algorand wallet has changed. But you should still send yourself a zero amount transaction, to get the rewards added to the account amount.

Very well, so be it. Is there updated information about this matter available? How often should you do such a zero Algo transaction to yourself? In the past I have done it every single day, but the blog article on PureStake, which I have based my tactics on back then, is from 2019 and obviously o…
