Current mainnet: pro-rata fee sharing

The active reviewed rule revision uses pro-rata rewards. Fees accumulate in 30-second windows and are distributed among eligible active validators according to the rule-defined weights. It does not use the historical random draw of up to 20 winners.

Eligibility depends on certificate participation in the window. The policy requires at least two-thirds participation, accounts for permitted late signatures, and processes payouts after a height-based delay. A 30-second accounting window does not promise a payout every 30 wall-clock seconds.

How weight is formed

Before rounding and concentration handling, weight combines normalized bonded GRP and active GGT locked to the validator reward address:

weight = bonded GRP / 10,000,000
       + linked locked GGT / 27,000,000,000

Unbonded wallet holdings and old +10%/+20% lottery boosts are not this formula. Mini Nodes and ordinary observer nodes do not earn these consensus rewards.

Read reward evidence carefully

Actual receipts depend on collected fees, eligibility, weight, and network progress. There is no fixed reward APR in this explanation. The current explorer’s rule decoder needs an update before all present-revision payout reconciliation can be treated as verified.

The proposed liquidity-linked node benefit is a separate integration candidate, not an active addition to this reward policy. See liquidity and node support.
