Earning Rewards through Staking

Participating in the Trush network as a validator or delegator offers the opportunity to earn rewards. In this chapter, we'll explore the reward structure and how often these rewards are distributed. While we'll be providing a general overview, it's important to remember that the specifics may vary based on factors such as the total amount of staked tokens in the network and the overall network usage.

Staking Rewards: An Overview

Staking rewards in the Trush network serve as incentives for validators and delegators. The rewards are distributed in the form of additional $TRS tokens, increasing the token holdings of those participating in the staking process.

Validators and Rewards

Validators play a crucial role in the Trush network, verifying transactions and creating new blocks. For their service, validators receive a significant portion of the staking rewards. The specific amount a validator earns is proportional to the amount of $TRS they have staked.

Delegators and Rewards

Even if not selected as validators, those who stake their tokens and become delegators still earn rewards. Delegators' rewards are earned by supporting validators. Similar to validators, the amount of reward a delegator earns is proportional to the amount of staked $TRS.

Reward Distribution

Staking rewards are calculated and distributed at the end of each epoch. An epoch in the Trush network is a fixed period of time, similar to how Solana operates its reward system. The duration of an epoch can be found in the network parameters.

At the end of each epoch, the staking rewards are automatically distributed to the validators' and delegators' Trush wallets. There's no need to manually claim these rewards.

Effect of Network Participation on Rewards

The total amount of staking rewards distributed in each epoch depends on the total amount of staked $TRS and the network's overall usage. When more tokens are staked and network usage is high, the rewards for staking also increase. Thus, active participation in the network can lead to greater rewards.

Conclusion

Earning rewards through staking is a major benefit of participating in the Trush network. Whether you're a validator or a delegator, your stake helps secure the network and keeps it running efficiently. And for this contribution, the network rewards you with additional $TRS tokens. By actively participating and staking your tokens, you can grow your $TRS holdings and help shape the future of the Trush network.
