Block Rewards

The Solana BlockRewards API returns indexed reward distributions on the Solana network. Solana implements a proof-of-stake reward scheme for validator nodes; rewards are paid every epoch and the API exposes the account that received the reward, the rewardType, amount, currency, postBalance, and full block context.

Use it for validator economics, stake-pool analytics, yield reporting for SOL stakers, delegated-stake reconciliation, and to combine with transactions for end-to-end performance views.
