Hello, let’s suppose I have many POKT, around 500k-1M. What do you think will be more profitable, being a top 1000 validator or having multiple service nodes with 15.5K POKT?
I have done some math and, with the current number of nodes in the network and assuming there are only 1k validators, being a validator looks more profitable:
For 18k nodes, 17k are service nodes and 1k are validator nodes.
The service nodes earn 89% of the block rewards, and the validators get 11%.
For each 1000 POKT of block rewards:
- 890 are distributed among 17k service nodes → 0.0523 POKT per service node
- 110 distributed to the 1k validators → 0.11 POKT per validator
Is my math correct or am I missing anything? I’m not sure if the RPC service rewards are included in the block rewards or not.
Many thanks
