Staking rewards.

Ada paid out to delegators and pool operators for producing blocks.

In depth

A small share of new ada plus a fraction of transaction fees is paid out each epoch to active stake pools, then distributed proportionally to their delegators. Rewards accumulate to the staking address and can be withdrawn at any time as part of a normal transaction.

Example

Delegating 1,000 ada to a healthy pool yields roughly 25–35 ada in rewards per year at current rates, paid out each epoch.
