Block Reward
Core Protocol · Deep
The SOL inflation reward distributed to validators for producing and voting on blocks. Solana's inflation started at 8% annually and decreases 15% per year toward a long-term rate of 1.5%. Block rewards are split between the leader (who produces the block) and all validators who voted for it. Half of each transaction's base fee and priority fee is burned, and the other half goes to the leader, complementing inflation rewards.
