A miner does not receive a fixed percentage of supply or a fixed APY. The reward share changes with: * The miner's mining power * Total mining power * The amount entering the mining pool {% hint style="warning" %} Examples are illustrative. Mining rewards depend on trading activity and the amount of revenue entering the mining pool. {% endhint %} ### Example: $30,000 daily trading volume | Calculation | Result | | ---------------------- | ----------------------- | | Daily trading volume | $30,000 | | Creator tax | 3% | | Tax revenue | $30,000 × 3% = $900/day | | Mining pool allocation | 25% of tax | | Mining pool | $900 × 25% = $225/day | | Hourly pool | $225 ÷ 24 = $9.375/hour | If a miner represents 10% of total mining power: | Period | Illustrative reward | | ------- | --------------------------------------- | | Hourly | $9.375 × 10% = approximately $0.94/hour | | Daily | Approximately $22.50/day | | Monthly | Approximately $675/month | ### Example: $100,000 daily trading volume | Calculation | Result | | ---------------------- | -------------------------- | | Daily trading volume | $100,000 | | Creator tax | 3% | | Tax revenue | $100,000 × 3% = $3,000/day | | Mining pool allocation | 25% | | Mining pool | $750/day | | Hourly pool | $750 ÷ 24 = $31.25/hour | If a miner represents 10% of total mining power: | Period | Illustrative reward | | ------- | -------------------------- | | Hourly | $31.25 × 10% = $3.125/hour | | Monthly | Approximately $2,250/month | ### How market activity affects rewards Lower trading volume means less tax revenue. Less tax revenue means a smaller mining pool. Trading volume is controlled by market activity, so mining rewards fluctuate with ecosystem activity. ### Illustrative break-even assumption The source uses an approximate break-even trading volume of $74,000/day. It assumes a 20% annual yield, approximately $1M in total value locked or lockup value, and 10% of supply locked. This is an illustrative assumption. It is not a guaranteed threshold or a promised yield. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.gpu-fi.uk/mining/reward-calculation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
