Proof of Useful Work v2:
Consistent Rewards
Proof of Useful Work Version 2.0 (PoUW v2) delivers faster block times and steady emissions, secured through FluxNodes.
What is PoUW 2.0?
PoUW v2 shifts Flux from GPU mining to node-centric consensus. FluxNodes manage block production and transaction validation, reducing block times from 2 minutes to 30 seconds and introducing a new FLUX token maximum supply cap with a 10% annual reduction rate.
PoUW v2 transitions Flux to a steady emissions rate with predictable block reward distributions, ensuring each FluxNode tier receives a FLUX payment for every block produced. No more waiting in queues for block rewards. PoUW v2 brings consistent payout cycles, guaranteeing node operators rewards every 30 seconds.

Block Time
Faster block production times mean faster finality, deployments, and reward cycles for node operators.
This means streamlined, more efficient app registration and deployment, as well as faster reward cycles for node operators.
Payout Structure
Under PoUW v2, for every block produced, 14 FLUX tokens will be distributed as follows:
9 Flux
STRATUS
3.5 Flux
NIMBUS
1 Flux
CUMULUS
0.5 Flux
FOUNDATION
Faster Block Times, Frequent Rewards Cycles,
Block emissions will become more predictable, shifting from an abrupt halving, to a steady output with a 10% annual reduction rate and a target inflation rate of 1% by 2036.
A new maximum supply cap of 560 million FLUX ensures incentive-driven deflation, where burning, locking, and staking mechanisms are in place to offset emissions.

Tangible Improvements
Shorter block times for boosted decentralized application development.
Faster finality for four times as many earning opportunities.
Deterministic payout cycles for consistent rewards across every node tier.
More efficient transaction confirmations for fluid app deployment and termination.
Rewards are allocated to the Flux Foundation with every block produced.
