Validation Rewards

Validation rewards are the incentives distributed to network participants who perform the duties of validating transactions and proposing new blocks. These rewards typically consist of a mix of newly minted tokens and transaction fees paid by users.

The distribution of these rewards is governed by the protocol code and is designed to ensure consistent network operation. Validators must maintain high uptime and correct configuration to maximize these earnings.

These rewards form the primary source of yield for stakers in proof of stake systems. They are a critical element of the economic incentive structure.
