Total Reward Distribution

Validator Rewards

Validator rewards are divided from the total allocation of 25% based on how much stake a given validator has in the network comparative to the overall stake of all validators in the network.

Topic Rewards

Topic rewards for a single topic are divided from the total allocation of 75% based on how much 'weight' the topic has.

Understanding Topic Weight

• Weight is like a score that shows how important or valuable a topic is.
• This weight is based on two things:
  • How much reputer stake it has
  • How much revenue the topic generates
• The formula for calculating weight looks at both these factors equally
• The weight is averaged over time to keep it stable and fair, so sudden changes don’t affect it too much.
