Block Rewards

• Miner (block builder)
  • Pre-merge
    • Block rewards from protocol emissions.
      • For each block, the miner is rewarded with a finite amount of Ether on top of the fees paid.
    • Uncle rewards
      • Uncles reward is valid but rejected as it is not on the longest chain which is the working mechanism of the blockchain.
  • Transaction priority fee
  • Direct transfers from transaction senders to block builder
• Proposer (MEV post-merge)
  • Amount of MEV reward received by the block proposer, and the corresponding index of the validator that proposed the block
  • MEV rewards are identified using the following logic:
    • If the last transaction of the block is sent from the block builder (miner), this is assumed to be an MEV payout
    • If the last transaction of the block is sent to the withdrawal address of the validator that proposed the block, this is also captured as an MEV payout
  • Example: https://etherscan.io/block/19900222#mevinfo
