, SuperNode Operators are selected to receive blockRewards and perform various operations to take place at a future blockHeight=X+N
. N is currently set at 10 blocks.blockHeight=X
, the top-20 ranked SuperNodes in the active-set
are selected as Voters. Ranking is achieved by calculating the XOR distance of the hash of each SuperNode's key against the hash of previous blockHeight=X-M
. M is currently set at 101 blocks.active-set

where N is currently set at 10 blocks. In the event of a tie or that no SuperNode is selected, the Voting process repeats. At blockHeight=X+N
, the Winner is the recipient of the blockReward, responsible for performing all related network functionality, and eligible to receive related transaction fees. blockHeight=X+N
. While they are not eligible to receive any portion of the blockReward, they do receive a portion of the related transaction fees for performing additional verification and security functions.
