FAQs
1. What determines Ethereum block rewards?
Block rewards consist of a fixed base reward (currently 2 ETH) plus transaction fees paid by users. Mining pools like Hiveon distribute these rewards proportionally to participants.
2. Why does gas usage matter?
Gas measures computational effort. High usage (89.77% here) indicates dense transaction activity, while hitting the gas limit (30M) could delay transactions.
3. How do uncle blocks affect Ethereum?
Uncles (orphaned blocks) improve network security. Miners receive partial rewards (1.75 ETH here) for valid uncles, incentivizing decentralization.
