Accumulated Node Rewards

• To earn node rewards, a Shield Node Key must participate in validation.

• Approximately one validation is created every hour, equating to about 720 validations per month.

• Each participating Shield Node Key receives a proportional share of the network rewards, as detailed in the network rewards section.

• Rewards increase if the Shield Node Key is placed in a pool higher than the bronze level.

• To maximize the potential of earning network rewards through a Shield Node Key, it is strongly recommended to participate in a pool and operate the Shield wallet (also known as the operator) 24/7.
