# Validators Reward ## # Validators Selection and Block Validation 1. **Validator Selection:-** In TAN's ***(BPoS)*** system, validators are randomly selected to create blocks. This random selection ensures fairness and prevents any single entity from dominating the block creation process, promoting decentralization. 2. **Block Validation:-** Validators' rewards are based on their performance—those who actively create blocks and validate transactions earn higher rewards. Poor performance or failure to follow network rules results in fewer rewards, encouraging validators to maintain high standards. This performance-based system prevents centralization and ensures a broad range of participants help secure the network, contributing to a more decentralized, resilient, and secure ecosystem. ## #Validator's Reward Distribution * In TAN’s ***(BPoS)*** system, ***20% of each block’s reward*** is allocated to validators. This reward is given to validators as compensation for their role in securing the network, validating transactions, and proposing new blocks. The ***20%*** allocation ensures that validators have a strong incentive to participate in the network’s consensus mechanism, thereby maintaining the blockchain’s security and decentralization. ## **#Validator Integrity and Slashing Penalties** TAN’s **(BPoS)** system ensures validator integrity by using slashing penalties for ***inactivity or malicious behavior**,* such as hacking. Validators who act dishonestly ***lose a portion of their stake**,* which is burned, reducing the network's token supply. This promotes security, discourages bad behavior, and maintains a healthy ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
