🤝Staking Rewards Without Minting New Tokens

In the Krown Blockchain, staking rewards will be distributed without minting additional tokens. Instead, the rewards for staking come from a portion of the transaction fees generated on the network. This ensures that the total supply of 100 billion KROWN remains fixed, while still providing strong incentives for users to stake their tokens.

  1. Staking Process:

  • Users can lock up their KROWN tokens in a staking contract via the Krown Wallet or

    KrownCash app. The more KROWN a user stakes, the higher their chances of being

    selected to validate transactions and earn rewards.

  1. Reward Pool from Transaction Fees:

  • Instead of minting new tokens, the staking rewards come from the transaction fees paid

    by users of the network. Every transaction on the Krown Blockchain incurs a fee, and a

    portion of this fee is distributed to validators who participate in securing the network.

  • For example, a percentage of the 5% buy/transfer tax and 10% sell tax is allocated to the

    staking rewards pool, ensuring that active validators are compensated for their work.

  1. Validator Selection and Rewards:

  • Validators are chosen based on the amount of KROWN staked and the randomness built

    into the PoS algorithm. Once selected, validators validate a block of transactions and earn

    rewards.

  • No New Tokens: Instead of receiving newly minted tokens, validators earn a share of the

    transaction fees paid by users in the validated block.

  • The staking reward pool is sustained by ongoing activity within the network, meaning the

    more transactions occur, the larger the reward pool for stakers.

  1. Claiming Rewards:

  • Stakers can claim their share of the rewards from the transaction fee pool at regular

    intervals. The rewards are directly tied to the number of transactions processed on the

    network, encouraging validators to stay active and engaged.

  • Users can either re-stake their rewards to compound their earnings or withdraw them for

    use in other areas of the ecosystem.
