Data Considerations
The definitions of active staking nodes has reverted to nodes which have submitted a commit transaction at least within the month. See below for more details.
Network Total Monthly Rewards
This metric shows the total rewards paid out across the entire network for each month.
| Month | Total Network Rewards (xBZZ) |
|---|---|
| July | 34,839 |
| August | 13,5927 |
| September | 147,825 |
| October | 152,868 |
| November | 148,617 |
| December | 159,865 |
In December, a record 159,865 xBZZ in rewards was issued to node operators, representing a moderate increase in network utilisation. This growth in winnings, fuelled by demand for data storage services, demonstrates a continuing trend of growth in network utilisation.
Monthly Median Win Values
This metric is the median win amount for each win event.
| Month | Median Win Values (xBZZ) |
|---|---|
| July | 9.63 |
| August | 43.97 |
| September | 44.62 |
| October | 46.84 |
| November | 46.83 |
| December | 48.06 |
December saw a slight increase in the median win value to 48.06 xBZZ, demonstrating a consistent pattern in average reward size for win events.
Monthly Average Win Values
This metric is the average win amount for each win event.
| Month | Average Win Values (xBZZ) |
|---|---|
| July | 12.07 |
| August | 41.45 |
| September | 46.52 |
| October | 62.09 |
| November | 47.41 |
| December | 57.75 |
The average win value in December climbed to 57.75 xBZZ, reflecting an increase from November.
Total Active Staking Nodes by Month
This metric shows the total nodes actively staking each month, as measured by whether the node has submitted a commit transaction within the month. Due to network churn, and as there may be some neighbourhoods not chosen to issue commit transactions for the given month, this metric may not capture every single node which is operating on the network within the month. It is however a very valuable metric for understanding trends in network dynamics and is a good representation of the actual state of the network.
| Month | Total Active Staking Nodes |
|---|---|
| July | 2,657 |
| August | 4,368 |
| September | 4,574 |
| October | 10,367 |
| November | 18,297 |
| December | 12,891 |
December saw a reduction in the number of active staking nodes to 12,891. See the section on staking nodes by country later in this article for a more detailed breakdown of the global changes in staking nodes.
