Reward allocation

The reward of each mined block will be divided as follows:

• 72% – Masternode reward

• 18% – Miner reward

• 5% – Management fee

• 5% – Superblock rewards

We feel that the proposed revenue distribution offers a good balance. The majority (90%) of block rewards provides a revenue stream for both miners and masternode holders. The 5% management fee is designed to primarily finance infrastructure costs, chain maintenance, ecosystem development, marketing, listings, bounties etc. The remaining 5% superblock rewards will initially be used for expensive exchange listings but shall be redirected to project funding as soon as possible.

The 20:80 split between miners and masternodes may seem unfair at first but we are working with the assumption that Osmium will be only merge-mined. In such a case miners have no additional costs from minig Osmi as they are getting the coin for free by mining a different coin.

Masternode collateral is fixed at 500 OSMI.
