Step Rewards

Step Rewards in XYO Layer One are designed to promote sustained participation by rewarding validators, producers, and passive stakers at specific milestone blocks.

Key Features

  • Earned by: Block Producers, Chain Validators, Pending Transaction Validators, System Stakers

  • Distribution: From the Step Reward Pool at milestone blocks

  • Purpose: Incentivizes long-term protocol engagement and decentralized network health

  • Triggers: On Milestone Blocks (Step Triggers)

Reward Pool Growth Over Time

  • Every block contributes a portion of its reward to the Step Reward Pool.

  • Since distributions only occur at milestones and never deplete the pool fully, the reserve grows over time.

Proof of Participation

  • Participants can submit a participation transaction to become eligible for Step Rewards.

  • These transactions prove activity and put stake at risk for slashing, increasing accountability.
