There are two reward types, * Block Rewards: Earned by staking **Pictor Checker Node NFTs** in Pictor Checker Nodes. * Shared Revenue: Earned by staking both Pictor Checker Node NFTs and PICTOR tokens in the Checker Nodes. {% hint style="warning" %} **Block Rewards** are active now, while Shared Revenue will be available soon. {% endhint %} ## 1. Block Rewards ### Eligibility To receive Block Rewards, you must: * [Buy](https://nft-sale.pictor.network/) and own a Pictor [Checker Node NFT](https://docs.pictor.network/docs/checker-nodes/checker-node-nft). * And [Stake](https://docs.pictor.network/docs/checker-nodes/staking-guide#id-1.-nft-staking) this NFT into a Checker Node. ### Reward Distribution Block Rewards are currently calculated and distributed weekly as **Pictor Network's sub-token** (**sPICTOR**)**,** which will be converted 1:1 into PICTOR tokens at TGE. Each staked NFT generates a fixed number of sPICTOR every epoch (week), based on its tier as follows:
NFT TierChecker Node TypeEpoch Block Reward (sPICTOR)
Iridium Iridium6,194.27
Titanium Titanium2,815.58
Platinum Platinum511.92
Gold Gold186.15
Silver Silver84.62
Bronze Bronze38.46
### Reward Calculation Block Rewards are calculated based on both **the number of NFTs staked** and **the staking duration** within each epoch (7 days - 10,080 minutes). * If an NFT is staked for the **full epoch (1**0,080 minutes**)**, it receives the **full epoch reward**. * If an NFT is staked for only part of the epoch, it receives a **pro-rated reward** based on the staking duration. * If an NFT is unstaked, it stops accumulating block rewards from that point onward. 🔷 **Formula:** $$ Reward = \frac{Staking\ duration\ (minutes)}{10{,}080} \times Number\ of\ NFTs\ staked \times Epoch\ Block\ Reward\ $$ 🔷 **Example:** * You stake **`2 Gold NFTs`** at the start of the epoch and keep them staked for all `10,080 minutes` → you earn the full epoch reward. * You stake **`3 Bronze NFTs`** halfway through the epoch, for **4 days** (`5,760 minutes`).\ The reward is calculated proportionally to your staking duration. Your total reward will be: $$ Total\ reward = (\frac{10{,}080}{10{,}080} \times 2 \times 186.15 )\ + (\frac{5{,}760}{10{,}080} \times 3 \times 38.46 )= 438.23\ sPICTOR $$ {% hint style="warning" %} **Note**: Your total epoch rewards are updated in real time in the **Claimable Rewards** section. {% endhint %}
## 2. Shared-Revenue
This mechanism will allow NFT + $PICTOR token stakers to share in Pictor Network’s actual revenue. More details will be announced after $PICTOR is launched. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
