# The Refresh Action

*Note*: The refresh action code be found [here](https://github.com/DIG-Network/reward-distributor-clsp/blob/main/rue-puzzles/actions/reward_distributor/staking/refresh_nfts_from_dl.rue) ([Chialisp](https://github.com/DIG-Network/reward-distributor-clsp/blob/main/puzzles/actions/reward_distributor/staking/refresh_nfts_from_dl.clsp)).

The refresh action is the newest addition to the reward distributor repertoire. It was added to address a particular short-coming of the curated NFT distributor in some cases. Particularly, after an NFT is staked, the DataLayer store owner may update the NFT's weight. The *non-refreshable* curated NFT reward distributor behavior is that the NFT's weight in the distributor (number of shares) is not changed until the owner unstakes the NFT. This has advantages in some cases, but not all.

The refresh action allows curated NFT reward distributors to be refreshable. Anyone can trigger this action to essentially restake a set of NFTs whose weights mismatch those in the DataLayer store. Presumably, the owner themselves would call it after the store is updated - if that is not the case, a third party observer may.

In essence, the action triggers payouts, then unstakes and immediately stakes NFTs to change their weight (stores as part of the nonce of the `p2_singleton` puzzle they are locked with) without sending them to their original owner(s). The locked NFT coins create new locked NFT coins with updated weights. This thus allows curated NFT reward distributors to respond to updates of dynamic lists, where weights (e.g., an NFT's rarity) may be changed at any time by the store owner.
