Mina blockchain offers a reward for block production to encourage nodes to produce new blocks so that the blockchain will be continuously maintained. You can get a reward for staking Mina either by running a node and producing blocks or by delegating tokens to a validator. Validators that stake Mina get 100% of the reward they win minus the reward of their delegators and the snark-work fee (see Formula 1).
Winning a reward for block creation is a lottery and the chances depend on the validator’s pool share: the higher the pool share is, the more chances a validator has to win block production. The amount of the reward paid depends on the coinbase. For producing a regular block the coinbase is 720 Mina, for a supercharged block the coinbase is 2x, i.e. 1440 Mina. This happens only if the accounts that take part in block creation, contain only unlocked tokens.
Delegators can win a reward in the result of a delegation, and its size depends on their stake (share) in the validator pool: the bigger stake a delegator has in the validator pool, the bigger share of the reward it can receive. Delegation is beneficial for both validators and delegators: the first charge a fee for a delegation from delegators, the latter get a chance to participate in staking without having to run a node. The amount of the reward paid to a delegator is calculated as specified by Formula 2.
