Block Reward

Protocol

Newly created coins and fees paid to the block producer.

The block reward is how networks pay miners or validators for producing blocks. It is usually a mix of newly minted coins and the fees from included transactions. Over time, some networks reduce the new coin part and depend more on fees from real usage.
