What is the Universal Reward Function in the Jax.Network Ecosystem?

Miners often get fixed rewards whenever they generate a new block, irrespective of the mining difficulty. As of this writing, any Bitcoin miner who successfully verifies a block (often after every 10 minutes) receives 6.25 BTC as an incentive. The Bitcoin protocol automatically halves the reward after every four years to limit coin issuance and ensure a maximum supply of 21 million coins.  This arrangement ultimately reduces the rate at which new Bitcoins are released into circulation, thereby creating scarcity. Although the halving process benefits Bitcoin investors, it somewhat demotivates validators, small-scale miners. As an improvement on the fixed reward rule, Jax.Network has come up with a unique universal reward system for miners based on the complexity of the mined block.  Understanding the Universal Reward Function in Jax.Network Jax.Network has two native coins, JXN and JAX, which have different investment purposes and utilities. Let’s take a closer look at each of them. JXN coin is mined on the beacon chain. It is issued based on the fixed reward system, which is more beneficial to the investors for speculative reasons since the coin becomes a deflationary asset. However, miners who are mining Jax.Network shard chains are rewarded with JAX coins. Here, miners are rewarded based on the newly proposed universal reward function, which sets mining rewards based on the mining complexity of the block.  The mos...
