Incentive and Reward Structure
Block rewards (emission + fees) are split among roles in the consensus protocol:�
dusk.network
~70% to block generators (with an extra 10% tied to inclusion credits).�
dusk.network
10% to the development fund.�
dusk.network
5% to the validation committee (second consensus step).�
dusk.network
5% to the ratification committee (third consensus step).�
dusk.network
This structure is designed to reward all major network roles and encourage active participation.�

🛡️ 6. Slashing & Staking Behavior
Dusk uses soft slashing for misbehavior or downtime, which temporarily reduces a validator’s stake participation or rewards (rather than permanently burning funds).�
DOCUMENTATION
Minimum stake threshold exists (e.g., ≥1,000 DUSK), but no upper limit, and no penalties or lock-up for unstaking.�
