Distribution of alpha_out to participants

Every block distributes tao and alpha into every subnet.

See Subnet Emission tao and alpha for details.

alpha_out distribution

Each subnet's incentive mechanism breaks down the distribution of the Subnet's alpha_out to the active participants of the subnet. There is 1 alpha_out every block.

  • Subnet Owner: The subnet owner receives 18% of the emissions. (0.18 alpha)
  • Miners Miners split 41% of emissions. (0.41 alpha)
  • Validator Validators (and their stakeholders) split 41% of emissions. (0.41 alpha)
Emission breakdown of Subnet 19: 18% to owner, 41% to Miners & Validators.

Emission breakdown of Subnet 19: 18% to owner, 41% to Miners & Validators.

Individual Miner rewards

  • Miners are awarded emissions based on their incentive score.
  • The sum of incentive across all of the validators in a subnet is equal to 1.
  • incentive is updated every tempo (generally 360 blocks).
  • Miners receive alpha_out * .0.41 * incentive *360 every tempo.

See Emission for Minersfor more details on how incentive is awarded to miners.

Individual Validator rewards

  • Validator rewards are split between the validator and their stakeholders.
  • Validators with higher VTrust and higher stake (both root and alpha) will receive higher rewards.
  • Parent/Child Hotkeys play a role in how how validator rewards are returned.
  • Validator rewards are returned in tao and alpha, as stakeholders can hold Root and Alpha stake.

See Emissions for Validators for detail on how incentive is awarded to validators.
