Constellation(DAG) Soft Node Rewards Reduced

One notable change is the reduction of reward allocation for Soft Nodes from 20% to 0% as of July 1st. This decision reflects our shift away from the Soft Node program and towards rewarding more active contributors.

To further enhance incentives for key network contributors, we have significantly increased the rewards for Validators and Testnet operators. Validators, who play a crucial role in validating transactions, maintaining network integrity, and safeguarding against potential threats, will now receive a higher reward allocation of 17% starting from July 10th. Similarly, Testnet operators responsible for hosting experimental network features that pave the way for future releases will see their reward allocation rise from 1% to 3%.

In conclusion, these reward distribution changes reflect our commitment to rewarding those who actively contribute to the Constellation Network. By placing greater emphasis on Validators and Testnet operators, we aim to drive ongoing innovation, foster exploration of new use cases, and create a secure, scalable, and robust distributed network.
