Miner Revenue
Miner revenue is the total income generated by a mining operation from both block rewards and transaction fees. It is the primary incentive for maintaining network security.
When revenue exceeds the mining cost of production, the operation is profitable. If revenue drops, miners may be forced to sell their holdings to cover costs or shut down equipment.
This creates a direct link between market price and network hashrate. Monitoring miner revenue is vital for understanding the financial health of the network.
It dictates the competitive landscape of the mining industry.
