The mining reward is the payment to the miner for the computational work needed to validate the transactions and put them into a block. On Alephium, The mining reward has two components: [Transaction Fee](#transaction-fee) and [Block Reward](#block-reward) or new token emissions. The transaction rewarding the miner and issuing the newly minted ALPH is called a coinbase transaction.
Alephium’s reward for newly generated blocks is also called Mining Reward (MR). After distribution, the [block rewards](#block-reward) are locked for 500 minutes.

The following equation defines it:
The mining reward is bound by two curves based on hashrate and timestamp. At a given time and for a given hashrate, the reward per block equals the minimum between the time-based reward and the hashrate-based reward.

Total Mining Reward = Block Reward + min(max(Block Reward, 1 ALPH), Transaction Fee / 2)

Half of the transaction fees component is burnt to act as a deflationary mechanism.
Block Reward = min( time-based reward, hashrate-based reward).
