Total Rewards

A total of 172,888.583155 STX were distributed to 764 pool members and 5 contracts. The distribution was based on 52,492,772.234729 STX stacked to receive STX rewards.

A total of 0.98060786 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 210,705.349632 STX based on 63,974,773.234729 STX stacked.

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

This was the third cycle after the Nakamoto hard fork. We run successfully a signer that continously signes Stack blocks. Our signer runs at a good health level. We setup a sBTC signer on testnet and are preparing the sBTC signer for mainnet.

For cycle #98, we transferred 0.28756296 BTC from BTC distribution to the reserve (see above). The total corresponds to 10,537.301576 STX or around 5.0% of the theoretical total STX rewards after converting BTC to STX at the exchange rate of 2729 sats/stx (471904049 sats / 172,888.583155 STX).
