Block Reward

A block reward is the new cryptocurrency that miners earn for successfully verifying and adding a group of transactions, called a block, to the blockchain. It acts as an incentive for miners to maintain the network’s security and stability. Over time, this reward may decrease through scheduled reductions, known as "halvings." Ultimately, block rewards help introduce new coins into circulation while encouraging miners to contribute their computational power to keep the system running securely.
