#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
I stopped at the 80% generator reward the first time I read Dusk’s block-reward split.
Then I noticed the 80% isn’t actually flat.
The reward is split 80% to the generator, 10% to the voting committee, and 10% to Dusk.
Only 70% of the generator’s share is fixed. The remaining 10% depends on how many committee votes make it into the block certificate, weighted by voter credits. Include all the votes, and the generator gets the full 80%.
So winning the block and maximizing its reward are two different things.
The generator has to do more than produce the block; it also has to incorporate the committee’s work into the certificate.
That creates a simple but interesting incentive: part of the generator’s economics depends on how complete that certificate is.
What I can’t tell from the docs is how much this matters in practice. When votes arrive late, how often is that variable 10% actually captured?
