The Algorand blockchain has launched a new rewards system for validators, with real-time payouts introduced following a consensus mechanism update, offering unique benefits to participants.

Consensus Mechanism Update and Rewards

Following the latest consensus mechanism update, Algorand blockchain has introduced 'block rewards,' which are now paid to validators in real-time. Initial payouts are set at 10 ALGO per block and will decay by 1% every millionth block. Validators also receive 50% of transaction fees from the blocks they successfully propose.

Unique Features of Algorand’s Staking Program

Algorand's staking program differs by offering real-time reward distribution without the penalties or token lockup requirements seen on other blockchains like Solana or Ethereum. Node operators maintain full access to their funds at all times. Unlike other popular currencies, Algorand's staking rewards are non-inflationary and do not impact the total ALGO supply. 'While staking on Algorand is highly inclusive, it’s highly secure as well,' said John Woods, CTO of the Algorand Foundation.

Participation Methods and Achievements of Algorand

There are multiple ways to participate in securing the network and earning staking rewards. For DeFi users, liquid staking is available from platforms like Folks Finance, Tinyman, Messina, and CompX. There is a consensus staking pool on Pact, other staking pools on Réti, and delegated staking available from Valar. Algorand staking will be available on other centralized exchanges later this year. The rollout of staking rewards marks a successful year for the sustainable Algorand blockchain, which hit its 2 billionth transaction in July and has seen a significant increase in the number of developers.

The launch of staking rewards on Algorand showcases the reliability and innovation of the platform, offering unique conditions for participants and opening up new opportunities for blockchain utilization.
