The average reward per block, consisting of a Foundation bonus (starting at 10 ALGO/block, decaying by 1% every 1,000,000 blocks) plus 50% of the block's transaction fees.

Blocks Per Year
Approximately 11,250,000 blocks/year based on ~2.8 second block time.
es
Eligible Stake
Total online stake from accounts with at least 30,000 ALGO eligible for consensus participation.
ALGOSRB reflects the reward rate for native consensus participation (block production).
The rate is empirically measured from observed block payouts and annualized, since both the decaying Foundation bonus and variable transaction fees change every block.
ALGOSRB is non-compounded, excluding returns from reinvestment of rewards.
ALGO Validator Staking Reward Rate: ALGOSRB(v)
Algorand does not have a traditional commission model. Native validators earn rewards based on their consensus performance.
ALGOSRB(v)=ALGOSRB∗p
Formula key
Metric name
Description
p
Performance
The validator's voting performance ratio, reflecting their participation in consensus.
RETI Staking Pools
In addition to native validators, Algorand supports RETI smart contract staking pools. These pools have a separate reward rate derived from an APY-to-APR conversion:
ALGOSRBreti(v)=ppy∗((1+poolApy)1/ppy−1)
Formula key
Metric name
Description
poolApy
Pool APY
The per-pool APY from the RETI pool endpoint.
ppy
Periods Per Year
Calculated as 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 / blockTime.
Observation Period:
The ALGOSRB is determined based on the real-time participation data at the point of evaluation.
This data is then annualized for a comprehensive year-long projection.
Calculation
The calculation happens every 2 hours and is immediately published via Data API.
Limitations
ALGOSRB employs a 365-day convention for annualizing staking rates. This convention remains consistent and does not accommodate adjustments for leap years.
ALGO Real Reward Rate (ALGOSRB^R)
The real reward rate calculates the ALGOSRB adjusted for inflation in the network.
ALGOSRBR=1+ALGOSRB/(1+i)−1
Formula key
Metric name
Description
i
Inflation Rate
Derived from the annualized variation in circulating supply using historical GlobalAPI data.
Inflation Rate Behaviour
The inflation rate of Algorand is derived from the year-over-year change in circulating supply, reflecting actual token distribution dynamics rather than a fixed tokenomics schedule.
Other ALGO metrics calculated by Staking Rewards:
Metric
Description
Staked Tokens
Total online stake from all participating accounts.
Staking Wallets
Total number of staking accounts on-chain.
Rewards per Year
The annualized rewards in USD.
