FlowFLOW

Token incentives represent newly minted FLOW tokens used to subsidize validator and delegator rewards when transaction fees are insufficient to cover the predetermined staking rewards. Flow implements an "Inflation Offset" economic model where total staking rewards are fixed per epoch, fees are used to pay rewards first, and any shortfall is covered by minting new tokens. This metric answers the business question: "How many tokens were minted to subsidize the staking economy when fee revenue was insufficient?" The calculation uses the formula: Token Incentives = MAX(Total Staking Rewards - Total Fees, 0).Learn more
