Total Rewards

A total of 168,801.253023 STX were distributed to 758 pool members and 6 contracts. The distribution was based on 51,981,030.973358 STX stacked to receive STX rewards.

A total of 0.81705766 BTC were distributed to 1 pool member from the proxy btc address. The distribution was based on 11,482,001 STX stacked to receive BTC rewards.

If all BTC rewards were distributed as STX rewards the total would have been 206,087.473009 STX based on 63,463,031.973358 STX stacked.

Compensation as Stacks Signer after Nakamoto Release (5.0% reserve)

This was the second cycle after the Nakamoto hard fork. We run successfully a signer that continously signes Stack blocks. We coordinate closely with the Stacks team that monitors the signers behaviour. We responded quickly to new version updates and best practice recommendations. Our signer runs at a good health level.

For cycle #97, we transferred 0.23768531 BTC from BTC distribution to the reserve (see above). The total corresponds to 10,293.8635773 STX or around 5.0% of the theoretical total STX rewards after converting BTC to STX at the exchange rate of 2309 sats/stx (3,89,869,002 sats / 168,801.253023 STX).
