Staking
- Staking and fees on the Blocknet are bundled together in a 70/30 split between nodes and stakers. This is a combination of POS staking and network trading fees.
- Staking is estimated to be between 9% — 14% in the first year.
- Nodes will receive 70% and stakers will receive 30%. This means that if you do not have enough Block to run a node, you will STILL get part of the node fees, and if you run a node, you will also get part of the stakes as well.
- Your wallet must be unlocked to actively stake and receive rewards.
- There will be 525,600 new blocks created annually at (1 block per minute) with decreasing inflation each subsequent year.
