Filecoin is preparing a change to how block rewards are distributed under FIP-0118, according to TheDefiant. The proposal would reduce the consensus portion of each block reward from 95% over roughly nine quarters until it reaches a 50% floor. Any part of the service share that is not earned would be burned. The reported change points to a reward model that gives more weight to paid storage services rather than leaving the current allocation unchanged. TheDefiant’s summary did not include additional rollout details, implementation timing beyond the nine-quarter adjustment window, or other operational parameters. Still, the proposal outlines a clear shift in incentive design inside the Filecoin network, with the balance of block rewards moving away from the current consensus-heavy split and toward storage-related service activity.

Filecoin is planning to change how its block rewards are allocated, shifting more of the payout structure toward paid storage, according to TheDefiant.

Under FIP-0118, the consensus share of each block reward would fall from 95% over about nine quarters until it reaches a 50% floor. Any portion of the service share that is left unearned would be burned.

TheDefiant’s summary did not provide further implementation details, but the proposal describes a reward structure that would put greater emphasis on paid storage services.
