How do miners earn money on Ergo?

Ergo miners earn from three sources: block rewards (newly minted ERG), transaction fees, and storage rent. Block rewards decrease over time according to the emission schedule, but storage rent ensures long-term income even after all ERG is mined. Most miners use pools for consistent payouts.

• Block rewards: newly minted ERG
• Transaction fees: paid by users
• Storage rent: from inactive boxes
• Pool mining: consistent smaller payouts
• Solo mining: rare large payouts
• Rewards in ERG, sellable or holdable
