# Block Rewards XYO Layer One incentivizes active block production through Block Rewards. These rewards are granted to block producers every time they successfully create a new block. ### Key Features * **Earned by:** Block Producers * **Distribution:** Directly assigned to the producer's configured address * **Frequency:** Every block * **Purpose:** Encourages ongoing block creation and secures the network ### Reward Transfer Block rewards are split between: * **Producer Address:** A configurable address that receives part of the reward. In most cases, this address is the block producer's address. * **Step Reward Pool:** The remainder is added to the growing Step Reward Pool This dual allocation supports both immediate incentives and future network-wide participation through Step Rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
