Rewards

* -> NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED

MANTA staking rewards are managed and distributed by an audited* staking manager contract (ADD LINK) on Ethereum.

Let's look at the specifics of how token rewards get distributed among node operators and token holders.

Reward Generation and Distribution

• For every block produced on Manta Network, roughly $7.6$ MANTA tokens are created (equivalent to $2\%$ of total issuance per year)
• $10\%$ of this reward goes to the node operator to compensate for infrastructure and other operational expenses.
• The remaining $90\%$ is split proportionally between everyone who has delegated tokens to the operator node. Does this include the self-bond?*
• Rewards are distributed to all the delegator and node operator addresses automatically based on the settlement schedule on Ethereum*.

How are Rewards Calculated

Your staking rewards as a delegator depend on several factors:

• Total amount of MANTA tokens you've delegated
• Performance of the node operator(s) you've chosen
• Your share of the total amount of tokens delegated to your chosen node operator
• Commission rate set by the node operator*

tip

• Delegating to reputable node operators with good performance metrics is a good way to maximize your staking rewards
• Rewards don't need to be claimed manually
