Briefings

Filecoin implements FIP-0118 to gradually reduce block rewards from 95% to a 50% floor over approximately nine quarters, with any unearned service share being burned. This mechanism aims to incentivize paid storage services by limiting free block rewards. The proposal is currently under development and not yet active.

Key points

• Filecoin plans to reduce the consensus share of block rewards from 95% to a 50% floor over approximately nine quarters under FIP-0118.
• Any service share left unearned by the block reward process will be burned rather than distributed.

Context

This proposal represents a shift in Filecoin's economic model to prioritize paid storage services over free block rewards, aiming to increase incentives for storage providers.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to the FIP-0118 proposal text; implementation timeline, exact burn mechanics, and historical data on previous reward structures are not provided.
