The incentive mechanism describes the process of how a validator and miner interact and are graded on content.

Each subnet has a different incentive mechanism that defines how the work of the miner and validator will be rewarded. The incentive mechanism is how validators assign trust to miners. This is then compiled by Yuma Consensus to distribute emissions.

For an overview of emissions, the Tao Allocation page for details on how emissions are divided up between the subnet owners, validators, miners and delegates.

Checks and balances

All decisions made in the awarding of incentives have a series of checks and balances to deter bad actors. For specifics on how tao emissions are awarded to miners and validators, refer to the pages below:
