What is Storage Rent?

Storage Rent is a mechanism where unused coins pay a minimal fee after 4 years of inactivity, preventing blockchain bloat and providing permanent miner rewards beyond emission.

How much does Storage Rent cost?

Storage Rent costs approximately 0.14 ERG per UTXO every 4 years. Active users never pay rent as any transaction resets the timer.

Why is Storage Rent important?

Storage Rent ensures blockchain sustainability by preventing unlimited growth, keeping the network lightweight, and providing perpetual security through miner rewards after emission ends.
