Block Reward
Definition
A block reward is the cryptocurrency awarded to the participant who successfully creates a new block. Block rewards incentivize network participation, distribute new coins, and compensate for the computational or capital resources required for consensus.
Technical Explanation
Block rewards combine newly minted coins (block subsidy) with transaction fees from included transactions. The subsidy typically decreases over time through halvings or emission curves, transitioning the network toward fee-based sustainability as coin supply approaches its cap.
In proof-of-stake systems, block rewards go to validators who stake capital and produce blocks. The reward compensates for capital lockup, operational costs, and risk. Post-quantum staking maintains the same economics with quantum-resistant signature verification.
SynX Relevance
SynX block rewards are distributed to stakers who participate in consensus. The emission schedule follows a predictable curve, creating sustainable tokenomics. All reward transactions use SPHINCS+ signatures, ensuring quantum-resistant distribution from genesis.
